Aseptic technology

Aseptic technology gives brands a way to deliver safe, shelf-stable products without relying on preservatives or refrigeration.

By sterilizing both the product and the package separately before filling in a controlled environment, it helps retain nutrients, maintain fresh taste, and protect product quality throughout shelf life.

Aseptic processing minimizes heat exposure after sealing, enabling gentler processing that better protects flavor, texture, color and nutritional integrity, while fully meeting safety and shelf-life expectations of up to 12 months.

How does aseptic packaging work?

Where aseptic makes an impact

Aseptic packaging is trusted across a wide range of categories, including:

Baby food and toddler nutrition
Plant-based and dairy beverages
Juices, smoothies, and teas
Soups, sauces, and broths
Nutritional and medical drinks
Health and wellness products

Benefits of aseptic packaging

Food safety &

fresh taste

Kills harmful bacteria and keeps food fresh for months without preservatives.

Better nutrition

Locks in essential vitamins and minerals. Studies show aseptic packaging retains 409% more vitamin C compared to traditional methods.

Sustainability

Reduces food waste by extending shelf-life. Uses nearly 50% less energy than other packaging methods.

Convenience

Aseptic packaging doesn’t need refrigeration until opened, saving energy and making storage easier.

The aseptic process preserves essential nutrients

Independent research continues to prove that aseptic processing is a breakthrough in food packaging—preserving nutrients, reducing waste, and improving food safety worldwide.

The aseptic process sterilizes both the product and its packaging before sealing them together in a controlled environment. This preserves the taste, texture, and essential nutrients you value, while enabling a long shelf life without preservatives or refrigeration. Key nutrients like Vitamin C and Vitamin D are carefully retained.

Retort processing shows the lowest retention, especially for Vitamin C, Vitamin B12, and Folate. Hot-fill offers moderate retention, preserving most nutrients better than retort. Aseptic processing consistently delivers the highest retention rates, preserving much of food's vitamin and mineral content.
