Aseptic packaging
Aseptic packaging is a process used to preserve food and beverages by sterilizing both the product and its container separately, then sealing them in a sterile environment. This method prevents microbial contamination without refrigeration, allowing products like juices, milk, and soups to stay fresh for long periods. The process involves sterilizing the liquid and the packaging material with heat, then filling and sealing the container in a germ-free environment. This technique maintains product quality, flavor, and nutrition while ensuring safety and extending shelf life without preservatives.
