Abstract
A high temperature, short time heating system and method for the pasteurization and/or sterilization of heat-sensitive material to destroy substantially selected pathogenic microorganisms without substantially affecting other desirable properties of the material, such as proteinaceous matter, which method comprises: subjecting the material to microwave energy to heat rapidly the material for a short time period to a pasteurizing or sterilization temperature for a short holding time period; rapidly cooling the heated material; and recovering an aseptic biological fluid.
