Burst
strength, the pressure at which the bottle bursts, provides
an
assessment of the overall stability of the bottle. It is important
to
ensure bottles do not blow up at the filling stage, and filled bottles
do not expand excessively during storage or bottle warming
during
pasteurization process. A TopWave Burst Tester model BR
3000
with
‘Ramp
Fill’
was
used
to
measure
the
burst
of
the
bottles; five bottles were tested from each production run and
the
results averaged.
