Ready to Drink protein shakes (RTD) are typically made using one of two processing methods - retort processing or aseptic processing. The processing method makes all the difference in the quality of the shake and ultimately, the results you can expect from using it. Many protein/nutrition shakes on the market today are packaged in metal cans - just like soda pop. Canned shakes are made using the retort processing method - a food processing method that‘s over a century old. Retort processing is a method whereby the canned shakes are sterilized by superheating them for 45 minutes at temperatures of up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. This effectively sterilizes the cans and eliminates any bacteria and contamination.
While heating the shakes for a long period of time effectively sterilizes both the metal can and the liquid inside, this excessive heat exposure (overcooking) - also does something else: it denatures the proteins in the shakes. You see, proteins are made of amino acids that link together and form chains called peptides. When proteins are exposed to extreme heat for long periods of time, proteins become cross-linked - the structure breaks down - and the protein is rendered, biologically speaking, inferior. Not surprisingly, testing shows that up to 90% of proteins in your typical canned protein shake may become denatured because of retort processing.
As another example of the difference between canned and minimally processed food, let‘s look at tuna fish. Canned tuna is nowhere near as delicious or nutritious as fresh, sushi-grade Ahi tuna. That‘s because canned tuna is processed (cooked) using the retort method, while the Ahi tuna is fresh and uncooked. Additionally, the liquid in canned shakes are exposed to metal inside of the can. And, when heated, it is possible that metal residues may leech from the can and into the liquid - giving it a "metallic" taste.
By contrast, aseptic processing is a relatively new and innovative food processing method that uses the latest in food processing technology. Aseptic processing differs from retort processing in that it involves minimal processing and heat exposure.
Aseptic processing ensures that your shake doesn‘t taste metallic - because the liquid never comes into contact with a metal container. Also, aseptic shakes don‘t need to be refrigerated. Aseptic shakes keep a constant air-tight internal environment that allows your shake to keep for months without needing to be refrigerated - and this is accomplished without the need for harmful preservatives.
In fact, aseptic processing is so advanced that the prestigious Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) called aseptic processing "the most significant food science innovation of the last 50 years... ahead of even the microwave!" and went on to conclude that "Compared with traditional canning techniques, the aseptic process allows a substantial reduction in the time and temperature necessary for sterilization. That, in turn, increases nutrient retention and flavour for ensuring safety."
Conclusion: The quality of your RTD is affected by how it is made. As you can see, Aseptic processing is clearly superior to the outdated report method. For best results, choose a high quality aseptic-processed protein nutrition shake - the kind used to produce Labrada On The Go Shakes! So what are you waiting for?
