A – The beverage is actually sterilized using ultra-high temperature (UHT) process that rapidly heats the product to temperatures between 195 to 215 degrees F. Then the product is rapidly cooled and filled into a sterile package. The speed of the process not only reduces the energy use, but also reduces the amount of nutrients lost in conventional canning styles. Aseptic packaging allows products to be stored at room temperatures without preservatives.
