UHT

Advantages:

High quality: The valves are higher for quality factors than microorganisms. The reduction in process time due to higher temperature (UHTST) and the minimal come-up and cool-down time leads to a higher quality product.

Long shelf life: Greater than 6 months, without refrigeration, can be expected.

Packaging size: Processing conditions are independent of container size, thus allowing for the filling of large containers for food-service or sale to food manufacturers (aseptic fruit purees in stainless steel totes).

Cheaper packaging: Both cost of package and storage and transportation costs; laminated packaging allows for use of extensive graphics
