ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a method and apparatus for the aseptic packaging of high acid food products. More specifically, the present invention is directed to a method whereby preformed barrier plastic containers are immersed in an aqueous sterilizing bath at a temperature ranging from 212.degree. F. to 140.degree. F. for a time interval ranging from one to sixty seconds, following which, after draining the sterilizing liquid therefrom, the containers are filled with presterilized high acid food product under essentially inert atmosphere conditions and thereafter closed in an inert atmosphere by sealing a sterile closure element thereto. Novel apparatus for automatically carrying out the method of the invention is also provided.
