This article will try to the reader about hot filing which is commonly used in the food industry. A brief and simple explanation of the phenomenon of hot filling is provided below.

Hot filling is a process which is used in the frozen food industry by a number of companies all across the globe. This technique is immensely popular because with its help, a food company can ensure food storage for a long time. Before we try to understand the entire process, we should know about the important role that naturally occurring acids play in the process of hot filling.

The acidity of a particular food can affect the process of hot filling. Firstly, if a number of micro organisms or spores manage to survive the process of hot filling, then they cannot grow at acidic levels below 4.6. Secondly any disease causing pathogens will not grow at an acidic level which is lower than 4.6. Hence if the acidic levels of any food are lower than 4.6, hot filling is not really required. Also, these are two most important reasons why the sensitivity to heat treatment reduces greatly at a lower pH or acidic level. Besides this, water and temperature are other two factors which drastically affect the process of hot filling.

Now coming to the actual process of hot filling. In this technique, a glass, plastic or carbon container is taken and placed sideways. After that, it is treated at a very high temperature which is anything between 194-203 °F (90-95 °C). This is done for a period of 15 to 30 seconds depending upon various factors like the type of container, size of container, the type of food and so on. This process sterilizes the container and kills off all the micro organisms in it. Through this technique of hot fill, manufacturers ensure that the food remains fresh, hygienic and fit for consumption. In the next step, the manufacturers have to cool down the containers along with the product. The food is then put inside the container at a temperature of 180-185 °F (82-85 °C). within seconds, the food needs to be sealed to ensure that the technique of hot fill is effective. Once this process is over, the sealed products are kept at the same cold temperature for 3 minutes. The food manufacturers, in order to ensure maximum protection sterilize the neck as well as the sides of the food container. Hence, one can rest assured that there is absolutely no spoilage of food. Besides this, this technique also keeps thermal degradation to a bare minimum.

The process of hot fill is vital for the food industry because it ensures that packaged food does not get contaminated by external agents. It also ensures that a company maintains it standard of hygiene and takes steps to ensure that the customer gets the best quality product. It is because of all the above mentioned reasons that hot fill is used by every other packaged food company in the world.
