Milk Pasteurization Process
What are the differences between Pasteurized milk, Ultra Pasteurized milk and Ultra High Temperature milk?
It is the same milk, the only difference is in the pasteurization process and the packaging which impact shelf life.
Pasteurized milk
Pasteurized milk is heated at a minimum of 161°F for at least 15 seconds. Milk pasteurized using this method needs to be kept refrigerated at all times; its shelf life ranges from 10 to 21 days.
Ultra Pasteurized milk
Ultra Pasteurized milk is heated at 280°F for 2 seconds. This process kills more bacteria than regular pasteurization. Ultra Pasteurized milk requires continual refrigeration and once it is opened, its shelf life ranges from 30 to 90 days.
Ultra High Temperature “UHT” milk
Ultra High Temperature “UHT” milk is sometimes referred to as “long life milk.” UHT milk uses the same process as Ultra Pasteurized milk but the difference is that it is packaged in a sterile packaging under aseptic conditions. This helps prevent bacteria from being re-introduced into the milk after it is pasteurized. UHT milk requires no refrigeration until it is opened and it stays fresh longer than any other pasteurized milk, usually lasting more than 6 months unopened.
The UHT process is not only used for milk, but for plant-based alternatives such as soy and almond juices.
A lot of things that you find in the fridge are already UHT processed, including ready to drink products such as Nesquik.
