Making Milk Last Longer We have 2 containers of milk. • Bottle of milk - fresh or pasteurised • Pack of UHT milk - closed
• Which one will last longest ? • Why ? • What is the difference between the two ?

Question : Which will remain fresher longer ?
The UHT milk can remain fresh for up to 6 months, or even longer, :• without refrigeration and • without using preservatives.
(The fresh milk will deteriorate in hours at ambient temperatures, or days if refrigerated.) SIG Combibloc

Why does the UHT milk last so very long ??
• The bacteria in the milk are either killed, or prevented from growing, by high temperature treatment.
• This is called “commercially sterilising” the milk.
• The treatment is called “Ultra High Temperature” - UHT.
• It is then aseptically filled into a sterile pack - ie no bacteria.

Definition - Commercial Sterility “ A commercially sterile product is free from micro organisms which grow under normal conditions of storage.”
Same meaning - different words.
UHT milk does not contain any bacteria capable of multiplication under normal conditions of storage and distribution.
