It's much different. Most items for sterilisation are packed into a large room which is then sealed and irradiated with high energy x-rays or gamma rays at very high dosage.
Nothing living survives.
A typical irradiation chamber can take more than a ton of dry goods at a time. The biggest can hold more than fifty tons.
Hospital dressing packs, all the bandages and dressings you buy in the pharmacy or supermarket, water for drinking or laboratory use, sterile needles and test tubes, even some foods, are sterilised that way. Clothes and blankets, tentage etc to be sent to aid and emergency situations can also be sterilised with radiation to avoid spreading bugs.
Most foods are sterilised chemically using sulphur dioxide gas for fruits which also helps in ripening, or solutions like potassium metabisulphite (not -ate) for root crops and other vegetables, which you can also use at home.
Buy it as Camden tablets in wine making stores. Home winemakers and commercial vineyards use it to stop fermentation and to sterilise bottles.
I use it on camping trips, along with ordinary household bleach for various sterilisting jobs including drinking water.
Only a small amount of either is required, but a waiting time must be observed to allow all the bugs to be killed using low dosaes that don''t affect the taste too much, normally 15 minutes in warm weather, up to an hour in very cold climates.
I've trekkked on five continents and used the same method everywhere with no problems.
