Processing methods
All processing methods outlined below act to extend food shelf life
Retort
Retort flexible packaging is a food processing method that uses steam or superheated water to heat product to temperatures typically in excess of 121°C or 135°C in a retort chamber. This sterilizes the product after food is packaged. Retorting is a technique that can achieve a shelf life of up to 12 months at ambient temperatures. Extra high barrier packaging is required for this process < 1 cc/m2/24 hrs.
Special construction required.
