The Advantages of Microwave Sterilization

In the 1947, American scientists invented the first microwave heating machine. Microwave technology has been widely used in food industry after more than 60 years. Microwave sterilization has many advantages.

1) It can kill bacteria, viruses and other harmful microorganisms which do not need to add chemical preservatives. In the process of killing harmful microorganisms, microwave preventive would not cause any pollution for food.

2) The speed of microwave sterilization speed is fast, it only takes a short time. It not heats the food surface, so the processing time is greatly shortened.

3) Sterilization temperature is low, has high efficiency.

4) Thermal efficiency of the microwave is generally over 80%. It is superior than other heating methods.

5) The automation of microwave sterilization equipment is higher.

6) Microwave sterilization equipment does not need boilers and complex piping systems,just needs the basic conditions of water and electricity.
