— aseptic processing is commonly used for the packaging of milks, fruit juices, liquid whole eggs, gravies, & tomatoes. fresh tomatoes are aseptically processed & packaged for year-round remanufacture into various food products. aseptic processing is the process by which a sterile (aseptic) product (typically food or pharmaceutical) is packaged in a sterile container in a way that maintains sterility sterility is achieved with a flash-heating process (temperature between 195° and 295° f (91° to 146 ° c), which retains more nutrients & uses less energy than conventional sterilization techniques such as retort or hot-fill canning. pharmaceutical sterile processing includes use of clean rooms, bacteria retaining filters, dry or steam heat. aseptic food preservation methods allow processed food to keep for long periods of time without preservatives, as long as they are not opened. the aseptic packages are typically a mix of paper, polyethylene & aluminum, with a tight polyethylene inside layer. sterile pharmaceuticals are usually packaged in plastic or glass. together these materials form a tight seal against microbiological organisms, contaminants, & degradation, eliminating the need for refrigeration.
