However, we do not seem to have a special body wholly dedicated to the design, fabrication and conduction of field trials of new machinery. Whatever system we do have now is sadly inadequate for venturing into new territories with the result that much of talent is wasted due to lack of opportunities. This reminds me of Thomas Gray, an Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard.

There is great potential for university students to explore the field of sterilisation. It has been found that the sterilisation process practiced by the industry is not founded on sound process technology. There is ample room therefore for improvement not only in the field of sterilisation, but in many other areas of processing as well. In this article, we would focus on sterilisation, the least understood process operation.
