Problems solved by technology

The low acid content of a low acid product, however, necessitates the use of more stringent packaging techniques, and often requires refrigeration of the product at the point of sale.
In fact, with aseptic packaging, the shelf life limitation is often determined by the quality of the taste of the packaged

Abstract

A method and apparatus for providing aseptically processed low acid products in a container having a small opening, such as a glass or plastic bottle or jar, at a high output processing speed.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional of Ser. No. 09 / 306,552, filed on May 6, 1999, which is a non-provisional of Ser. No. 60 / 118,404, filed on Feb. 2, 1999.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates generally to systems for the aseptic packaging of food products. More particularly, the present invention relates to an aseptic packaging system for the aseptic packaging of food products in containers such as bottles or jars. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Sterilized packaging systems in which a sterile food product is placed and sealed in a container to preserve the product for later use are well known in the art. Methods of sterilizing incoming containers, filling the containers with pasteurized product, and sealing the containers in an aseptic tunnel are also known. [0004] Packaged food products can generally be categorized as high acid products (Ph below 4.5) or low acid products (Ph of 4.5 and above). The high acid content of a high acid product helps to red...
