Abstract
A method for the cooling of a heated, e.g. heat-sterilized, flow containing particles of foodstuff character is disclosed. The flow is separated into a high particle flow, and a low particle flow which is cooled separately from the high particle flow and is used later as a cooling medium for the cooling of the high particle flow. The method can be used in aseptic packaging wherein a heat-treated, cooled foodstuff product, e.g. fruit soup, vegetable soup, meat broth, etc., is packed in sterilized packing containers, or in packing containers manufactured from sterilized packing material, under aseptic packing conditions.
