Title:
PROCESS FOR PRODUCING PACKAGED DRINK
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/012996
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
It is intended to provide a process for producing a packaged drink whereby filling can
be performed at room temperature without resorting to using a chemical or sterile
water, the favorable taste and flavor of the content can be maintained while relieving
the thermal degradation thereof, it becomes unnecessary to employ a heat-resistant
container or to thermally sterilize or cool after sealing, and thus both of the
equipment cost and the running cost can be largely reduced. After thermally sterilizing
the content to give a definite sterilization value, it is quickly cooled to room
temperature and then stored in a storage tank that has been preliminarily sterilized
under such conditions as being equal to or exceeding the thermal sterilization
conditions for the contents. While maintaining the storage tank under positive
pressure with the use of a sterile gas, the content is fed into a filling machine
that has been preliminarily sterilized under such conditions as being equal
to or exceeding the thermal sterilization conditions for the contents. Thus,
the liquid-feeding system ranging from the storage tank to the filling machine
is made a closed liquid-feeding pathway free from the invasion of air from the
outside. The drink is filled into a container having been sterilized with hot
water in an environment-controlled space isolated from the outside wherein
the surroundings have been thermally sterilized and washed with hot water at
65oC to 100oC.
