UHT Processing in Juices Market - Forecast(2024 - 2030)
UHT Processing in Juices Market Overview
UHT Processing in Juices
Market size is estimated to reach $2.6 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 10.4%
during the forecast period 2022-2027. UHT (Ultra-high temperature processing, ultra-heat
treatment, or ultra pasteurization) is a processing technology that sterilizes
liquid food/ drink by heating it above 135 °C (275 °F) – the temperature needed
to destroy bacterial endospores – for 2 to 5 seconds. It is principally
utilized in milk processing and can also be applied in fruit juices, creams,
yogurt, soy milk, alcohol, soups, honey and stoves, and different additional
products. In UHT processing, the beverages are heated to a greater temperature
for a briefer period of time and then packaged directly into a hermetically
sealed container in an aseptic process. “UHT processed beverages are
shelf-stable for two to three months without refrigeration”. Numerous
UHT plants function with the homogenizer in the upstream position. In these
cases, homogenizers are not in the sterile portion of the plant and do not have
to function under aseptic conditions, thereby eliminating the need of including
a sterile block. The milk flow rate is regulated by the upstream homogenizer in
indirect systems. Ultra-high-temperature processing is carried
out in complicated production plants, which carry out numerous phases of food
processing and packaging automatically and in sequence including flash heating,
flash cooling, homogenization and aseptic packaging. The process, termed flash
cooling, decreases the hazard of thermal damage, subdues thermophilic microbes owing
to falling temperature abruptly, eliminates certain or all of the surplus water
acquired by way of the contact with steam, and eliminates certain volatile
compounds which negatively influence the product quality. One
typical UHT Processing in Juices Industry application is in food
processing where it is used to sterilize liquid food by heating it above 135°C.
The soaring demand for ultra-high
temperature (UHT) processed packaged juice and surging benefits of aseptic
packaging are set to drive the UHT Processing in Juices Market. The heightening
inclination of consumers towards functional drinks over fruit juices and
carbonated drinks together with the heightening awareness of consumers towards
health and wellness and demand for clean label products is set to propel the
growth of the UHT Processing in Juices Industry during the forecast
period 2022-2027. This represents the UHT Processing in Juices Industry
Outlook.

UHT Processing in Juices Market Drivers
Surging Applications Involving Ultra High Temperature Treatment (UHT) on Fruit Juices are Projected to Drive the Growth of UHT Processing in Juices Market:
A classic UHT Processing in Juices industry application is
in the processing of fruit juices. In an application, the watermelon juice was
pasteurized by the ultrahigh temperature (UHT) treatment, and the qualities of
the pasteurized juice were examined in contrast to screen the optimal UHT. The
UHT of 120 and 135°C inactivated the microbial colonies and kept up the original
color of the watermelon juice. The temperature of 120 and 135°C was also kept
up considering the phenolic content by decreasing the polyphenoloxidase
activity. Moreover, the C9 aldehydes, specifically the (E,Z)-2,6-nonadienal, introduced
the principal aroma of the watermelon juice. The C9 aldehydes were formed as
the consequences of the heat decrease and enzymatic metabolism. The temperature
of 120 and 135°C decreased the alcohol dehydrogenase activity and well retained
the C9 aldehyde content of the watermelon juice. Hence, the temperature of
120°C of the UHT treatment was the optimal temperature for the generation of
the watermelon juice. Aseptic packaging is one of the phases of packaging in
complicated production plants where ultra high temperature processing or ultra
pasteurization is carried out. The
surging applications involving Ultra High Temperature (UHT) Treatment on fruit
juices are therefore fueling the growth of the UHT Processing in Juices
Market during the forecast period 2022-2027.

UHT Processing in Juices Market Challenges
Limitations of Ultra High Temperature (UHT) are Hampering the Growth of the UHT Processing in Juices Market:
One
of the greatest disadvantages of the technique of Ultra High Temperature (UHT)
pasteurization is the fact that it can certainly deteriorate the real taste of
a milk or any other food product. This happens owing to the high degree of
temperature which can bring about havoc to the original quality and the taste
of the milk or any other food product. The most typical kind of taste which one
can effortlessly experience upon partaking a UHT treated milk product is an extremely
cooked and burnt type of taste. This can eventually influence the profit market
of such products to a great extent owing to the refusal of consumers to purchase
these kinds of artificially treated food items. In an application, the unpasteurized
juice was pasteurized by UHT treatment at the temperatures of 110, 120, and
135°C for 2 s, which were nominated as the UHT110, UHT120, and UHT135,
respectively. The pasteurized juice was then sterile filled in the 300ml PET
bottles. There is a high probability of decrease in the original shelf-life of
food products through the application of the UHT technique. The UHT technique
is associated with soaring costs. The UHT technique can result in certain
severe issues associated with the maintenance of sterility in food products
undergoing the UHT process. These issues are thus hampering the growth of the UHT Processing in Juices Market.
