Abstract (en)

In the canning of a non-carbonated liquid food product, nitrogen is dissolved in the product in a gas dissolution device 4, the product is held under nitrogen pressure in a holding tank 8 or 10 for a period of time sufficient to permit froth to subside, and the product is then used to fill the cans from a filler 20. The cans are thereupon closed fluid-tight. The nitrogen comes out of solution in each closed can to create a superatmospheric pressure therein. Accordingly, flexible thin-walled cans can be used. <IMAGE>
