Thermal Processing – the essentials (Continuous Flow Processing)

Each of the 3 modules are broken down into bitesize sessions, which includes a knowledge check and summary sessions. To complete all 3 modules will take approximately 2 hours.

The 3 modules are:

• Introduction to thermal processing
  7 sessions covering: what is thermal processing; sterilisation vs pasteurisation; processing targets; hermetic packaging; training design; knowledge check; and a module summary.

• Introduction to microbiology
  8 sessions covering: top 5 Microorganisms; brief history of microbiology; yeast, mould, and bacteria; microorganism growth stages; environmental factors; sources of microorganisms; knowledge check; and a module summary.
  
  

 Continuous flow processing equipment

• 6 sessions covering: background; direct heat exchangers; indirect heat exchangers; instrumentation; knowledge check; and a module summary.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of the course delegates will:
