Abstract
The continuous pasteurization system () that pasteurizes raw food products () while substantially maintaining the raw state of the raw food products includes a conveyor () on which the raw food products () are loaded for delivery to a pasteurization apparatus, wherein the raw food products are quickly heated so that the temperature of the outer surface of the raw food products is raised sufficiently to achieve a desired pathogen kill level. Thereafter, the raw food products () are immediately cooled in a cooling apparatus () to remove the heat applied to the raw food product and maintain the substantial raw state of the raw food product. A control system () is connected to a processor () as well as various measuring devices and instruments, including temperature measurement devices (T-T) to control the operation of the pasteurization system ().
