HTST Pasteurization from Vitarich Laboratories

HTST stands for high temperature short time, and it is a process by which liquids are heated, as the name suggests, to a high temperature for an extremely brief period of time. This heating kills virtually all dangerous bacteria and results in a product that requires fewer preservatives but has a similar shelf life.

HTST is a distinct pasteurization process that uses plates and tubes to heat the materials to optimum temperature. HTST uses a 5-log system, meaning that the product is exposed to heat five times in order to destroy bacteria at an exponential rate. Vitarich Laboratories employs HTST for our pasteurized products using high-tech equipment to ensure maximum effectiveness with minimal effect on taste and integrity.
