1. RETORT POUCH
Retort is a cooking process that uses heat and pressure to cook food
in its sealed package. Retort Pouches conditions are quite
demanding with temperatures typically ranging from 120°C to
130°C. Different retort grade films which are laminated together to
provide the strength, toughness, puncture and burst resistance that
enable flexible retort pouches to resist the retort process condition.
The particular retort pouches used for several products consist of four
layers bonded in a lamination machine. Starting from outside, the
layers are:
 Polyester PET Provides a gloss and rigid layer, may be printed
inside.
 Nylon Bi-Oriented Polyamide, provides puncture resistance.
 Aluminum Al Provides a very thin but effective gas barrier.
 Food-grade cast polypropylene or CPP Is the sealing layer.
Furthermore, Retort pouches and packaging can be produced in two
variants one is aluminum foil laminated and another transparent.
Common structure of retort pouch :
PET/AL/ON/CPP PET/ON/AL/CPP
PET/AL/CPP PET-SiOx or PET-AlOx/ON/CPP
(Toppan Brand for PET-SiOx/PET-ALOx are GL-AEH, GL-ARH,
etc.)

2. Required Quality for Retort Pouch :
1. Heat resistance  No deterioration in quality of
pouch.(transformation, discoloration) by pressure- heat sterilisation
under high temperature.
2. Barrier performance  No deterioration in the quality of content
by moisture, oxygen, ultraviolet, light, etc.
3. Aroma preservation.
4. Bag fall resistance, pin-hole resistance.
5. High seal strength.
6. Automatic filling property.
7. Hygienic Material for retort pouch should be approved by public
institution.
8. Others Convenience, easy tearing.

3. Advantages of Retort Processing in Pouches
• Cost efficient  packaging materials and logistics cost.
• Energy efficient  in container manufacturing, transportation of
retort pouches (empty and full) and food processing.
• Time efficient about 40% saved in the cook cycle of retort
process.
• Warehouse storage efficient 85% less space than the equivalent
number of empty cans.
• Shipping efficient lighter package weight, more food products
can be shipped per truckload – in unrefrigerated trucks.
• Rapid heat penetration and more efficient processing than cans.
• Improved food quality thanks to reduced heat exposure better
taste, color and texture.
Consumer Advantages of Retort Pouch
• Easy to handle.
• Easy to store at room temperature with other dry foods.
• No need for reheating (can be easily heated in boiling water for
about 5 minutes).
• Microwavable.
• Easy to open.
