Pasteurized
milk is exposed to "The Ultra High Temperature"
(UHT) treatment. Which is a powerful heat
treatment at 135-150°c for 4-15 seconds
leading to that all Microorganisms and heat-resistant
enzymes are inactivated.
The
"UHT" treatment takes place in a
totally closed, automatically controlled system
to maintain the sterility condition of milk
and avoid re-contamination, before it is aseptically
packed.
UHT
treated milk has excellent keeping quality
and can be stored for long periods of time
(months) at ambient temperature without spoiling
and with no need for refrigeration which means
that the product can reach geographically
wider markets, simplify deliveries, using
fewer and cheaper distribution vehicles and
eliminate return of unsold products, no expensive
refrigerated display space at retailers are
required, stock planning is simplified, the
consumer gains the convenience as he can make
fewer trips to the shops.
NB
UHT treatment does not contain any preservatives.
