What is the difference between sterilization and canning?
Sterilization is a process of killing all microorganisms in a specific environment, such as in medical equipment or laboratory materials, whereas canning is a method of preserving food by heating it in airtight containers to kill bacteria and prevent spoilage. Sterilization is typically done at higher temperatures for longer periods to achieve complete elimination of microorganisms, while canning focuses on preserving food for consumption at a later time.
How is commercial canning different that home canning?
Commercial canning is done on a far greater scale than home canning. Other than that commercial canning includes methods not used in the home such as pasteurization and ionizing radiation. One more big difference is the types of containers used in commercial canning include tin-lined steel cans that require an opener to slice the lid from the can, and laminate vacuum pouches used for fruit drinks and other liquids. Home canning uses primarily glass jars with 2-piece lids. Finally, more chemicals are used in commercial canning than in home canning.
What is the difference in sterilization and commercial sterilization?
Sterilization refers to the process of eliminating all forms of microbial life, while commercial sterilization refers to a specific type of sterilization used in food processing to eliminate the risk of spoilage or harmful bacterial growth without necessarily achieving a complete elimination of all microorganisms. Commercial sterilization aims to make the product commercially sterile, meaning it is safe for consumption and storage.
What is the difference between sterilization and commercial sterilization?
The difference is that commercial sterilization takes place in irradiation chambers and regular sterilization does not. A irradiation chamber can hold up to 50 tons and is sealed up before the high energy x-rays kills off anything living.

What is Improper home canning is the most common cause of?
Improper home canning is the most common cause of foodborne illnesses, particularly botulism. This occurs when low-acid foods are not canned at the correct temperature and pressure, allowing the growth of Clostridium botulinum bacteria. Inadequate sterilization, insufficient acidity, and improper sealing can all contribute to this risk, leading to potentially severe health consequences. Ensuring proper canning techniques is essential for food safety.
What type of kettle can you use for canning?
For canning, it's essential to use a large, heavy-bottomed pot or a dedicated canning kettle that has a lid and a rack to keep jars off the bottom. A water bath canner is commonly used for preserving high-acid foods, while a pressure canner is necessary for low-acid foods to ensure proper sterilization. Both types of kettles should have enough capacity to hold the jars and water required for the canning process. Always ensure that your kettle is compatible with your stovetop and has a tight-fitting lid.
