Aseptic processing was developed in 1927. A processing technique wherein commercially thermally sterilized liquid products (typically food or pharmaceutical) are packaged into previously sterilized containers under sterile conditions to produce shelf-stable products that do not need refrigeration. Aseptic processing involves three primary steps: thermal sterilization of the product, sterilization of the packaging material, and conservation of sterility during packaging. Aseptic Processing, where the liquid products are sterilized outside of a container before sterilizing the container itself, is gaining popularity as it drastically improves the shelf life of liquid products and beverages. Demand for this processing is set to increase year by year.
