Unlocking the Benefits of Ultra High Pasteurization with MicroThermics

 In the world of food processing, ensuring product safety and extending shelf life are critical factors for success. One method that has gained popularity for achieving these goals is Ultra High Pasteurization, also known as UHT. In this blog, we will delve into the concept of UHT processing, its benefits, and how MicroThermics can assist you in optimizing your UHT operations.

Understanding UHT/HTST Processing

High Temperature Short Time (HTST) and (UHT) are temperature ranges used in various processing methods. HTST processes encompass pasteurization, high-acid aseptic processing, and hot-filling. 

On the other hand, UHT encompasses the low-acid aseptic processing, which includes both pasteurization and sterilization. Furthermore, Extended Shelf Life (ESL) processes fall within the HTST or UHT temperature range, depending on the specific product requirements.

Temperature Ranges

HTST typically operates within a temperature range of 80°-110°C (176°-230°F), whereas UHT processes push the boundaries further, operating between 136°-149°C (277°-300°F). The choice of temperature range depends on factors such as the product, desired shelf-life, and storage conditions.
