The choice between aseptic sterilization and pasteurization in orange juice processing depends on the desired shelf life, storage requirements, and flavor profile. 
Aseptic sterilization is ideal for juices needing a longer shelf life without refrigeration, while pasteurization is preferred when fresh flavor is prioritized for refrigerated storage. Together, these processes help ensure that consumers receive high-quality, safe orange juice that meets a variety of storage and taste preferences.
The typical treatment temperature range is:
- Pasteurization: 60-80 °C
- Sterilization: 65-90 °C
