UHT UNFLAVOURED MILK

UHT: Ultra High Temperature.

UHT milk is the one which is subjected to very high temperature (thermal treatment) with an
aim of destroying all the microorganisms and the spores. UHT products are highly perishable
and easy to store since they can be stored at room temperature.

UHT products are produced by sterilizing the milk. this is done at a temperature of 135 to 140oC.
the temperature that acts as the Critical control point is 140 oC. the shelf life of UHT products is
between 3 to 6 months. Once the product is opened the first time, it needs to be refrigerated so
that it does not go bad
