VIDEO: Batch & Tunnel Pasteurization for Cider/ Hard Cider Production by PRO En...
ARTICLE EXCERPT:
“Cider, also known as "hard
cider" in North America, is the product of apple juice's alcoholic
fermentation. This fermented beverage has an alcohol content between 3.0–8.5%
with a soft acidic, and sour taste (1).
In traditional farmhouse cider-making,
the fermentation processes are performed by indigenous yeast, while in the
commercial path, unfiltered fruit juice is inoculated with the yeast of
different species; the most common are Saccharomyces, Kloeckera, or Pichia (1)
which induces anaerobic fermentation converting sugar to ethanol (2).
Cider making is similar to winemaking;
however, cider usually contains lower ethanol than wine (5-7% vs. 11-15%), and
for this reason, is more prone to microbial spoilage (3). Refermentation in the package and
consequent bottle explosion has been a concern for cider makers since years
ago; besides, refermentation from certain types of bacteria such as Zygosaccharomyces is a cause of harm for
consumers (4). To avoid this, hard cider
pasteurization is used to preserve product safety and quality.”
This article is an in-depth explanation of the tunnel pasteurization and batch pasteurization for hard cider/ seltzer beverages, an essential read for all beverage makers.
