  • Publication number: 20120082772
    Abstract: The present invention provides a food sterilization method by which the effective sterilization of the spore-forming bacteria having high heat resistance and high pressure resistance is possible without impairing the taste, flavor, and texture of food. A method for sterilization of food comprising: high-pressure treatment step in which one or more amino acids selected from the group consisting of cysteine, alanine, methionine, phenylalanine, serine, leucine, and glycine is added to a sterilization target food, and then the sterilization target food including the amino acid is treated at 50 to 600 MPa for 1 to 120 minutes; and low-temperature heating step in which the sterilization target food is heated at 60 to 100° C. for 5 minutes or more after the high-pressure treatment step.
