Consejos útiles para la conservación de alimentos. Cómo esterilizar. [...] De todas las causas que deterioran los alimentos, la más importante es la de origen microbiano [...]. Es imprescindible lograr una buena higiene para la conservación de alimentos envasados. El lavado de las botellas o frascos se realiza con detergente, empleando hisopos, escobillas u otros utensilios o materiales similares que aseguren una buena limpieza en el interior de los envases. [...] Una vez que los recipientes están bien limpios, se realiza la esterilización de los recipientes antes de envasar los alimentos. Este proceso se efectúa de una forma muy práctica y sencilla, ya que después de llenos los envases, las conservas se someterán de nuevo a tratamientos con calor ya sea la pasterización o la esterilización. 1, record 2, Spanish, - esterilizar
