ABSTRACT:
A method of sterilizing a packaging material for, for example, a ready-to-fill package with extended shelf-life for a food involves bringing a sterilization agent containing hydrogen peroxide into contact with the packaging material in order to remove microorganisms present on the packaging material. After the contact with the sterilization agent, the packaging material is ventilated with air so as to remove remaining residues of hydrogen peroxide on and/or in the packaging material. The removal of the remaining residues of hydrogen peroxide is improved synergistically by exposing the packaging material, after contact with the sterilization agent but before ventilation, to accelerated electrons at a kinetic energy of at least 50 keV.
