R&D in Practice – Extended Shelf-Life, High-Quality UHT Milk

R&D in Practice – Extended Shelf-Life, High-Quality UHT Milk

As part of an R&D project co-financed by EU funds, SM Mlekpol, in cooperation with IIPM, developed an innovative UHT milk production technology. The outcome is a product line with fat contents of 0.5%, 2%, and 3.8%, characterized by a shelf life of up to 12 months and superior sensory quality.

The project addresses the needs of the export market, where product durability under extended transport and storage conditions is critical.

Features of Innovative UHT Milk

  • Preservation of sterility under standard

and elevated storage temperatures

  • High sensory stability
  • Maintenance of product quality for up to 12 months

The project exemplifies the successful transfer of research results into industrial practice

Project "Development of innovative UHT milk with extended shelf-life and enhanced quality" implemented under Sub-measure 1.1.1 of the Smart Growth Operational Programme 2014-2020, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund.
