National Spaghetti Day : How to Process UHT Packed Sauce

Heat Treatment for Spaghetti Sauces

There are several types of spaghetti sauce with the most famous ones being tomato sauce, pesto sauce, white sauce, etc. These pre-made sauces are used in many domestic and commercial kitchens around the world as they can save a lot of time and energy for the chefs. Pre-made sauces are processed under Ultra-high temperature (UHT) technologies to make them last longer on the shelves and also to eliminate any microbes present in them. However, due to their heat sensitivity and high viscosity, sauces are one the most challenging process lines to undergo heat treatments. Many traditional heat exchangers can easily freeze or burn sauces due to their static nature.

To overcome these issues, sauce-making businesses need processing equipment that can offer gentle product handling and versatility, and at the same time comply with the highest hygienic standards. Such rapid and effective heat exchangers can avoid the burnt taste of the sauce, and can also handle high-viscosity fluids and maintain any particles present without breaking them down.

Why UHT Treatment for Sauces?

UHT treatment paired with aseptic cold filling helps sauce manufacturers improve the quality and taste of products, enhance value for consumers, and reduce production costs. These UHT sauces, packed in pouches, cartons, or bottles, are increasingly winning over the market share from retorted sauces packed in traditional metal or glass containers.
