The document discusses aseptic packaging, which involves filling sterile containers with commercially sterile products under aseptic conditions to prevent contamination. It outlines the sterilization processes for products and packaging materials, including methods such as heat, radiation, and chemical treatments. Aseptic packaging extends shelf life, maintains product quality, and reduces the need for refrigeration while offering various packaging systems like bottles, pouches, and cups.

2. Introduction
 Aseptic packaging is the filling of sterile containers
with a commercially sterile product under aseptic
conditions, and then sealing them so that re-infection
is prevented; that is, so that they are hermetically
sealed.
 Sources of contamination: microorganism may be in
the product, on the surface of packaging material or
the part coming in contact with the product.

3. objectives
 To sterile the product that provide the higher quality
product
 To take advantage of high temperature short
time(HTST)
 To extend the shelf life of products at normal
temperature by packaging them aseptically

Maintenance of sterility

6. Sterilization of Equipments
Radiation
• UV-C radiation
• Infrared radiation
• Ionizing radiation
Heat
• Saturated steam
• Superheated steam
• Hot air
• Hot air and steam
Chemical
• Hydrogen peroxide
• Ethanol
• Ethylene oxide
• Paraceticacid

7. Sterilization of Product
• 63◦C/30 min
• 72◦C/15 sec
HTST
• 130◦C – 150◦C/ fractions of sec
UHT

15. Benefits of aseptic packaging systems
 Keeps the product for several months
 Conserve the nutritive value of foods
 Less space requirement
 Cheaper packaging cost
 Permits storage and handling without refrigeration
 Eliminates the use of preservatives

16. Storage
❖ To maintain at a low temperature so as to prevent any
deterioration in quality prior to processing/product
manufacturing
❖ To facilitate bulking of the raw materials supply,
which will ensure uniform composition
❖ To allow for uninterrupted operation during
processing
