New Gospel of Aseptic Food Packaging Technology Packaging Market

Aseptic packaging technology emerged in the late 1940s and gained significant traction in the 1960s with the advancement of plastic packaging materials. This innovation opened up vast opportunities for its application, especially in food preservation. Aseptic packaging is favored due to its minimal impact on food nutrients and flavors, lower costs, ease of storage and transportation, and appealing aesthetics. As technology continues to evolve, aseptic packaging equipment and materials have become more advanced, leading to an expanding market. In developed countries, more than 65% of liquid food is packaged using aseptic methods, showing great potential for future growth. Aseptic food packaging refers to the process of sterilizing food (such as beverages, dairy products, and seasonings) in a sterile environment and sealing it in a sterilized container. This method allows for extended shelf life without the need for preservatives or refrigeration. The key idea is that both the packaging material and contents are sterilized before being sealed in a sterile environment. In the food industry, "aseptic" means that the number of non-pathogenic bacteria per gram of food must be less than 10. If these bacteria do not multiply, the food can remain safe even when stored at room temperature. Sterilization of packaging materials is a crucial step in aseptic packaging. Common methods include chemical sterilization and UV sterilization. Hydrogen peroxide is one of the most widely used agents due to its strong bactericidal properties. It works best at concentrations between 25% and 30%, with temperatures around 60–65°C. When heated, hydrogen peroxide evaporates, leaving behind harmless water vapor and oxygen. This method is often combined with heat treatment to ensure complete sterilization. UV sterilization is another common technique, effective within a wavelength range of 250–360 nm. It works by disrupting the DNA of microorganisms, preventing their reproduction. While UV sterilization is safe, residue-free, and cost-effective, it is not as powerful as chemical methods. Therefore, it is often used in conjunction with other sterilization techniques. Common forms of aseptic packaging include cardboard, cup, bag, aluminum/plastic, and plastic bottle packaging. Aseptic cardboard packaging typically uses a composite material of paperboard, aluminum foil, and polyethylene, designed for dairy products, juices, and beverages. Sterile cup packaging involves multi-layer co-extruded sheets that allow for easy sterilization and sealing. These cups often feature barrier layers like PVDC or EVOH, offering excellent protection against oxygen and extending shelf life. Aseptic bag packaging is ideal for larger volumes, ranging from 5L to 1000L, and is commonly used for bulk liquids. It offers convenience and reduces reliance on traditional containers like metal or plastic buckets. Aseptic aluminum/plastic packaging uses composite films, often made through dry or cast lamination, providing a lightweight and durable option. Plastic bottles, either co-extruded or made from single-component PP or PE, can be sterilized during molding or in a sterile environment before filling. For liquid foods, aseptic packaging has become a global trend, especially with aluminum foil composite paper. This type of packaging ensures a sterile, airtight, and opaque environment, allowing products to stay fresh for over 12 months at room temperature. Its lightweight nature also makes long-distance shipping easier. Key technical considerations include proper surface treatment of the base paper, optimal thickness of PE layers, and maintaining uniformity to avoid defects like bubbles or wrinkles.
