A method for deep vacuum packaging of a food product and a system for implementing this method. The food product and at least one additive are placed in a mixing device. The mixing device is evacuated and its contents are mixed to ensure a penetration of the additive(s) in the food product and to outgas the mixture until an absolute pressure is less than or equal to 30 mbar. The temperature of the food product is less than the boiling temperature of the liquid and the additives contained therein at a particular pressure. At least a portion of the mixture cold blanched is packaged in a tight container. The container is optionally pasteurised/sterilized in a short time by controlling the pressure and temperature conditions such that the container does not open or become crushed under the effect of a pressure difference between the inside of the container and the autoclave.

The invention relates to a food packaging (10), particularly for milk or cheese products (20), comprising two hollow shells (12, 14), each of the two shells (12, 14) having a plane of symmetry (S) and extending to a predetermined depth (p12, p14) and having predetermined thickness (e), the joining plane (16) being substantially orthogonal to the plane of symmetry (S), said packaging being characterized by the fact that at least one of the two shells (12, 14) has a depth (p12, p14), measured in said plane of symmetry (S), that is greater than or equal to its thickness (e) measured in the joining plane (16). The invention also relates to a method of producing a food packaging (10), in particular for milk or cheese products (20).

The present teachings provide an approach for energy efficient creation of dilute sterile fluids such as ready-to-drink beverages. To achieve such creation, a beverage processing apparatus may have a sterile liquid concentrate source connected to deliver sterile liquid concentrate and a sterile water source having an inlet connected to receive water and a cold water filter sterilizer connected to the inlet. The apparatus may also have a dilute fluid outlet and an aseptic mixing component. The aseptic mixing component may be interconnected between the sterile liquid concentrate source, the sterile water source and the dilute fluid outlet to: receive sterile liquid concentrate; receive sterile water; and to provide a dilute fluid.
