    Aseptic packaging allows foods to be processed and packaged in a way that increases shelf life without refrigeration. It involves sterilizing foods, packaging materials, and equipment to prevent recontamination. The food is high temperature processed and immediately sealed in sterile packaging. Common packaging materials include cartons, bags, and bottles. Aseptic packaging allows foods to be stored at room temperature for months without refrigeration, providing convenience for consumers while preserving quality and nutrients.

    Aseptic Packaging

    Why Foods are processed?

    • Increase Shelf life of product


    • Availability of commodity throughout year
    • Wide range of products can be produce
    • Convenience for consumer
    How Foods products are
    processed ?
    • By Application of heat – Aseptic packaging
    • By Removal of heat
    • By Irradiation
    • By Addition of sugar / salt / Additive
    • Minimal Processing
    • By Altering surrounding of product
    Aseptic Packaging-
    • It is defined as the filling of a commercially sterile
    product into a sterile container under aseptic
    conditions and hermetically sealing the containers so
    that reinfection is prevented.
    • This results in a product which is shelf stable at
    ambient conditions.
    • The term aseptic is derived from the Greek word
    “septicos” which means the absence of putrefactive
    micro organisms.
    • There are two specific fields of application of aseptic
    packaging technology-
    1. Packaging of pre-sterilised and sterile products.
    E.g. Milk and dairy products, puddings, desserts,
    fruit and vegetables.
    2. Packaging of non-sterile products to avoid infection
    by micro-organism
    E.g. Fermented dairy products like yoghurt.
    • Aseptic packaging technology is fundamentally
    different from that of conventional food processing
    by canning.
    • In canning, the process begins with treating the food
    prior to filling.
    • Initial operations inactivate enzymes so that these
    will not degrade the product during processing.
    • The package is cleaned, and the product is
    introduced into the package, usually hot.
    • Generally, air that can cause oxidative damage is
    removed from the interior.
    • The package is hermetically sealed and then
    subjected to heating.
    • The package must be able to withstand heat up to
    about 100°C for high acid products and up to 127°C
    for low acid products.
    • Figure 1 is a simple illustration comparing the basic
    difference between conventional canning and aseptic
    packaging processes for the production of shelf-
    stable food products.
    Aseptic Processing – Methodology
     Aseptic processing comprises the following:
    • Sterilisation of the products before filling.
    • Sterilisation of packaging materials or containers and
    closures before filling
    • Sterilisation of aseptic installations before operation (UHT
    unit, lines for products, sterile air and gases, filler and relevant
    machine zones)
    • Maintaining sterility in this total system during operation
    Sterilization of Products
    • In aseptic processing, the design to achieve
    commercial stability is based on the well-founded
    principles of thermal bacteriology and integrated
    effect of time/temperature treatment on spores of
    micro-organisms.
    • Pre-sterilization of a product usually consists of
    heating the product to the desired UHT temperature,
    maintaining this temperature for a given period in
    order to achieve the desired degree of sterility.
    Some of the latest methods of
    sterilisation of products include:
    1. Microwaves
    2. Electrical resistance heating
    3. High voltage discharge
    4. Ultra high pressure
    5. Sterilization of air by incineration
    Sterilisation of Aseptic Packaging
    Materials and Equipment
    • Primary packaging Material
     Tetrapack – LD(low denisty) / Al foil / Paperboard
     Aseptic Bulk pack – EVOH (ethylene vinyl alcohol)/ Al foil / LD
     Glass bottle
     FFS cartons(form fill seal)
    • Secondary packaging Material
     Tetrapack – pack in corrugated tray with shrink wrapping
     Aseptic Bulk pack – CFB(congurrated fiberboard) boxes (25 kg)
    – Bag in box
     Aseptic Bulk pack – Plastic Drums (50 kg)
     Aseptic Bulk pack – MS Drum (mild steel) (225 kg)
    Heat
    • Systems employing moist heat are frequently
    sterilized at temperatures ranging from 121°C to
    129°C, while 176°C to 232°C is used for sterilization
    by dry heat.
    • Sterilization of air by incineration: Temperature
    ranging from 260°C to 315°C.
    Chemicals
    • Hydrogen peroxide (at concentrations of 30 to 35%)
    is the overwhelming choice for use as a chemical
    sterilant.
    • Some other chemicals are various acids, ethanol,
    ethylene oxide and peracetic acid.
    Radiation
    • Gamma-radiation has been used for decades to
    decontaminate packaging materials for use in aseptic
    systems for packing acid and acidified food.
    • A dose of approximately 1.5 Megaradians (Mrad) is
    commonly used to decontaminate containers for acid
    and acidified food.
    • Ultraviolet (UV-C) light has been used to
    decontaminate food contact surfaces.
    Types of Aseptic Packs
    • Carton Boxes, Bags and Pouches, Cups and Trays,
    Bottles and Jars, Metal Cans, Plastic Cans, Composite
    Cans are used for packaging.
    Integrity Check for Aseptic
    Packaging material

    • Teardown test – Sealing strength


    • Electrolytic Test – Pinhole testing
    • Dye test – For pinholes in laminated cartons
    • Sterility check
    Composition of Tetra Pak Aseptic
    Cartons
    • Tetra Pak aseptic cartons are made of three basic
    materials that together result in a very efficient, safe
    and light-weight package.
    • Each material provides a specific function Figure.
    • Benefits:
    Higher degree of safety, hygiene and nutrient
    retention in food; Preserving taste and freshness;
    Can be kept for months with no need for
    refrigeration; Efficient.
    Type of Package Forms available in
    India
    • In India, Tetra Pak offers the following
    packaging systems currently:
    TBA: Tetra Brik Aseptic
    TCA: Tetra Classic Aseptic
    TFA: Tetra Fino Aseptic
    TWA: Tetra Wedge Aseptic
    Advantages of Aseptic Packaging:
     Convenience
    Aseptic packages are portable, lightweight, and shatterproof
    and easily transportable
     Food Safety
    The aseptic process and carton together ensure that the liquid
    food or beverage inside is free from harmful bacteria and
    contaminants.
     No refrigeration required
     Long shelf life
     More nutrition
    Compared with canning, products can retain more nutrients
    as well as natural taste, colour and texture
     Low Packaging to product ratio
    Limitations
    • Plant Installation cost is high as compare to canning
    • Gas transmission rate of Aseptic bag/ package
    • Overcooked flavour in some products
    • Lack of equipment for particulate sterilization, due
    especially to settling of solids and thus over
    processing
