Pasteurization units (PU) by temperature and time, or the holding time for the required PU.
Approximate calculation using a simplified model: for designing equipment and process modes, consult a technologist.
Calculates pasteurization units (PU) by temperature and holding time or by a profile of several stages, as well as the holding time needed for a given number of PU.
An exponential relationship with a reference temperature of 60 °C is used, common for beer, juices and beverages. The result is approximate and does not replace process validation.
The calculations are approximate: they help to assess the process and compare options, but do not replace a process design and trials on a specific raw material. This section is for reference only and contains no commercial offers.
