Research
OUR COMMITMENT TO R & DAseptic bottling technology is one of the most active research areas in food technology today. Xenos is at the forefront of technology transfer to the industry through its innovative products and ongoing investment in research and development.
It’s important that our research extends beyond the sterilising technology, so we look closely at the storage characteristics of key products that benefit from being aseptically filled.
An example of our research in this area is a study we conducted on full cream milk packed into PET bottles. It showed that milk needed to be protected from the light in order to prevent oxidation and degradation of vitamins. However we found that no oxygen barriers were needed, so long as light was not present. In a Xenos system these light barriers can readily be achieved through the use of full-length shrink sleeves applied to the bottles after filling.
