Aseptic Packaging Research Paper

Aseptic packaging or processing is where a food product, such as ultra-high temperature (UHT) milk) and its package is sterilized separately and then combined and sealed under sterilized atmosphere. The first practice of this was in Denmark in 1913 packing milk in metal cans. In 1921 a patent was granted for the process under the term aseptic conservation. In 1923 aseptically packaged milk from South Africa was shipped to London to a trade fair and it arrived in perfect condition. In 1933 a filling machine was developed by the American can company called the Heat-Cool-Fill (HCF) system. It worked by using pressurized saturated steam to sterilize cans and ends. The sterile cans were filled with sterile product and the ends sealed on in a closed

It was founded by Ruben Rausing in 1951. The basis of his idea was to pack nutrition-dense milk in shelf safe packages using minimal amounts of material, paper-based and shelf stable. Tetra pak consists of paperboard, made from wood from selectively harvested, regrown trees, and is used to make the package stable, yet lightweight. Thin layers of polyethylene - a common plastic - are added to seal in the liquid and protect it from external moisture. A thin layer of aluminum foil protects products from oxygen, flavors and light. This technology is used to package milks, fruit juices, liquid whole eggs, gravies, tomatoes, wine and spirits etc. Tetra Pak has produced a series of different packages varying based on the application of use. They are called Tetra Brik Aseptic, Tetra Classic Aseptic, Tetra Evero Aseptic, Tetra Fino Aseptic, Tetra Gemina Aseptic, Tetra Prisma Aseptic and Tetra Wedge Aseptic.
