Sterilization conditions for meatballs in retort trays were determined. Microbiological safety, texture, and sensory attributes were analyzed for 27 sterilization conditions (33 factorial design) using temperature, time, and processing method. Temperature and sterility were monitored using an F 0 sensor. Quality factors of water activity, viable cell counts, color, sensory characteristics, and texture were analyzed for retorted meatballs under each experimental condition. Quality attributes were significant (pF 0 and hardness for quadratic effects were significantly (pF 0, the sensory quality of chewiness, and color b values were significant (pF 0 at the coldest point, the sensory quality of chewiness, the degrees of lightness and yellowness, and hardness were significantly (p
