Tetra Pak helping dairy firms keep up with the latest consumer trends

Most consumers are interested in nutritional ingredients such as protein, calcium, vitamin D, and essential fatty acids to provide a full range of important nutrients for the body. But with more and more strict shopping criteria, food safety and hygiene factors are now being held in high regard.

According to the National Science Foundation, 78 per cent of consumers say they place great emphasis on shelf life and often discard milk and dairy products as soon as they expire. This shows that products with a long shelf life will be prioritised for safety and convenience. As a result, UHT (Ultra-High Temperature) pasteurised milk products are increasingly being placed in shopping carts thanks to their long shelf life of six months to a year.

Tetra Pak, a world leader in processing and packaging solutions, pioneered UHT pasteurised milk technology to help dairy firms meet the needs of modern consumption. UHT technology allows dairy producers to expand their product portfolio, create high-protein dairy product lines, reduce lactose content to suit a wide range of consumers, and preserve the full delicious natural flavour of milk.

Tetra Pak UHT technology integrates with the Tetra Pak Direct heating module, creating a minimum heat load for food products, preserving the overall quality and nutritional value, and preserving the natural taste of milk. At the same time, this technology helps milk taste similar to pasteurised fresh milk. Versatilely designed with more than 100 options and several combined heating solutions, UTH technology from Tetra Pak helps dairy producers optimise production and meet diverse market needs.

Tetra Pak's UHT pasteurised milk solution is currently rated as the top performer today. The system incorporates ultrafiltration, an integrated filtration technology that eliminates bacteria, minimises chemical changes in the product, and retains important nutrients in the milk. In addition, the technology also helps ensure that products meet high-quality standards and taste fresh for a long time without refrigeration or preservatives, suitable for temperature sensitive products such as fresh milk, nutritional fortified milk, ice cream, and formula milk products.

Thanks to the multi-layer packaging structure of Tetra Prisma^® Aseptic, the product is protected from agents such as oxidation, light, air, and moisture. The combination of Tetra Prisma^® Aseptic packaging and advanced sterilisation technology ensures that the product is stored and kept fresh for longer, while maintaining nutritional value and flavour. This is important for the food and beverage industry, especially fortemperature-sensitive products such as milk and fruit juices.

The unique octagonal design of Tetra Prisma^® Aseptic packaging is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also fits in the palm for easy grip and convenience for users. Tetra Prisma Aseptic enhances product quality while meeting eco-friendly criteria.
