Opted By Food Industries
Thermal Sterilization
Thermal sterilization is the most commonly used sterilization process 
done during the aseptic packaging process. It uses high-temperature and 
low-temperature thermal processes in the thermal sterilization processes 
to preserve the food for longer. It is considered a vital technique in the 
food industry. 
Superheated Steam Sterilization
At high temperatures, the dry heat sterilization process uses super heated 
steam in the process. The food products, along with packaging material 
are sprayed with super heated steams. The packaging materials are 
commonly made of metal products and glass products. This sterilization 
process is suitable for packaged products resistant to heat. The high 
temperature kills the heat-resistant bacteria by making packaging 
containers sterility degrees high and making products more reliable and 
safe. 
Resistance Heating Sterilization
The food products like carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms, when going 
through the sterilization process. It somehow affects the flavor and the 
texture of the food products. When these food products are injected with 
resistance heating sterilizations, conduction is transmitted to the solid 
particles at a particular temperature. It proffers food products higher in 
quality and texture. The resistance heating sterilization is suitable for 
acidic and low-acidic food products.
Irradiation Sterilization
The irradiation sterilization technique uses rays to kill the pathogenic 
bacteria, insect parasites, and food microorganisms. It prevents the food 
products from further deterioration by inhibiting the metabolism of the 
food. It does not affect the food characteristics and quality in the overall 
sterilization process.
UV Sterilization
Usually, the liquid food products and beverages such as milk and juices in 
the aseptic packaging unit are sterilized by passing a high beam of 
ultraviolet rays. During the sterilization process, no residue is left behind. 
Therefore, before using the UV Sterilization technique, the characteristics 
of the packaging material are considered. The intensity through which the 
rays are passed is also preferably considered.
