Wikipedia

Ultra-high-temperature processing

Ultra-high temperature processing (UHT), ultra-heat treatment, or ultra-pasteurization is a food processing technology that sterilizes liquid food by heating it above 135 °C (275 °F) – the temperature required to kill bacterial endospores – for 2 to 5 seconds. UHT is most commonly used in milk production, but the process is also used for fruit juices, cream, soy milk, yogurt, wine, soups, honey, and stews. UHT milk was first developed in the 1960s and became generally available for consumption in the 1970s. The heat used during the UHT process can cause Maillard browning and change the taste and smell of dairy products. An alternative process is flash pasteurization, in which the milk is heated to 72 °C (162 °F) for at least 15 seconds.

UHT milk packaged in a sterile container has a typical unrefrigerated shelf life of six to nine months. In contrast, flash pasteurized milk has a shelf life of about two weeks from processing, or about one week from being put on sale.

Examples of use of UHT
1. "UHT is not a new product, consumers can decide for themselves whether they want to buy it," he added.
2. The authority‘s investigation found two parties operating in the local market for long–life (UHT) milk, Tnuva and the Ramat Hagolan Dairies.
3. There was the strange UHT milk, Orangina that actually tasted of oranges and Coco Pops that were that much more chocolatey compared to those at home.
4. "The milk chain should enhance the development, marketing and placement of UHT milk products." However, the proposals have outraged farmers who believe that consumers will simply drink less milk rather than buy long–life milk.
5. Fair enough, some things are more important that our selfish little pleasures. – Adam, Sheffield Over my dead body, I hate UHT and have even refused to drink coffee/tea when offered it at restaurants.
