A mathematical model to predict heat transfer and integrated sterilization values during the hot-fill process of double concentrated tomato paste in glass jars was developed The model was capable of predicting satisfactorily the time-temperature relationships during the air-cooling process following the hot-fill process. Integrated sterilization values after hot-filling were calculated as a function of the retention time. A hot-filling temperature of 85-degrees-C was not adequate to sterilize properly this product for any of the jar sizes studied and for the initial and final population levels established, for the target microorganism employed (B. coagulans). Hot-filling temperatures of at least 94, 92 and 90-degrees-C are recommended for jar sizes of 200, 500 and 4000 cm3, respectively. As jar size increased, the hot-filling temperature and the retention time required to achieve the desired integrated sterilization value decreased Larger retention times were obtained as the hot-filling temperatures decreased.
