An aerated or carbonated milk product drink having a shelf stable pre-heated and pressurized ultra-heat treated milk product which has been carbonated with a gas or gases under pressure and packaged into a container. The milk product may be natural or artificial milk product including dairy products and non-dairy milk products and includes combinations of milk products with other beverages such as fruit juices. The method of producing the shelf-stable carbonated milk product of the present invention comprises injecting under pressure carbon dioxide gas or a mixture of gases into the milk product at low temperature of less than 10 degrees centigrade and high pressure of from 50 kpa to 200 kpa. The carbonated milk product remains carbonated and shelf stable in the package until opened.

1. A method of aerating or carbonating a shelf stable pre-heated and pressurized ultra heat treated milk dairy liquid product to a high level of carbonization while not destabilizing the shelf stable pre-heated milk liquid dairy product, comprising:(1) pre-heating the milk liquid dairy product within a temperature/time range of at least 85 to 138 degrees centigrade for a time period of approximately 5 seconds;(2) ultra heating the milk liquid dairy product within a temperature/time range of at least 150 degrees centigrade where it is held at a pressure of 700 KPA or a pressure sufficient for killing microorganisms including pathogens and bacteria and flavoring the liquid dairy product, whereby any flavoring ingredient, acidifying ingredient and preservative ingredient is introduced sequentially to the liquid dairy product and each ingredient is individually mixed before the next ingredient is added;(3) cooling the liquid dairy product to a temperature of less than about 10 degrees centigrade;(4) subjecting the cooled liquid dairy product to pressurized carbon dioxide from a carbonator at sufficient pressures and for a sufficient time such that the taste and mouth feel of carbonated liquid dairy product is no longer that of the un-carbonated liquid dairy product, provided that at least 3 vols. to 8 vols. of carbon dioxide are dissolved in the liquid dairy product; and(5) packaging the so carbonated liquid dairy product in shelf stable closed containers capable of retaining a degree of carbonation without refrigerationwherein the step of flavoring comprises the sequential steps of:adding sugar and corn syrup and mixing for a minimum of five minutes,adding flavoring and colors and mixing for a minimum of five minutes,adding calcium supplementation and vitamin supplementation and mixing for a minimum of two minutes,adding phosphoric acid and citric acid and mixing for a minimum of two minutes, andadding preservatives and stabilizers and mixing for a minimum of five minutes,wherein the calcium supplementation includes calcium benzoate, the preservatives includes benzoic acid, and the stabilizers includes kappa-carrageenan. 2. A method according to claim 1, in which the pre-heated ultra heat treated milk product is whole milk, skim milk, low fat milk, total milk solids, modified milk, non-fat milk, soy milk, non-fat soy milk, or any other milk product either essentially natural or essentially artificial. 3. The process of claim 1 wherein the pre heated and pressurized ultra heat treated carbonated liquid dairy product is at a PH level of between 3.8 and 5.7 and the carbonated liquid dairy product is not destabilized. 4. The process of claim 1 wherein the liquid milk product is pre heat treated in a plate heat exchange or a comparable industry standard apparatus. 5. The process of claim 1, wherein the pre heated liquid milk product is ultra heated in an ultra heat treatment apparatus. 6. The process of claim 1, wherein the pre heated and ultra heated liquid milk product is cooled to 2 degrees centigrade. 7. The process of claim 4, wherein the liquid milk product which is at 4-8 degrees centigrade is pre heated to a temperature of 65 to 85 degrees centigrade. 8. The process of claim 1, wherein the pre-heated ultra heat treated liquid milk product is homogenized. 9. The process of claim 1, wherein flavoring is added in the liquid milk product before packaging. 10. The process of claim 9 wherein flavoring is added after the ultra beat treatment process. 11. The process of claim 9 wherein flavoring can he chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, malt and any other flavor desired. 12. The process of claim 1 in which the pre heated and pressurized ultra heat treated milk is carbonated by a carbonator comprising a direct injection of sterilized, purified carbon dioxide gas or gas mixture. 13. The process of claim 12 in which the carbonator is substantially integral with the ultra heat treatment apparatus. 14. The process of claim 12 in which the su pply of carbon dioxide from the carbonator is from 11 to 56 kg per hour at a pressure in the range from 50 KPa to 200 KPa. 15. The process, of claim 14 in which the injector of the carbonator has an adjustable needle-like valve. 16. The process of claim 15 in which the carbonator has an injection tube part of which is located in a tube for injecting carbon dioxide perpendicularly to the direction of flow of milk in the tube. 17. The process of claim 16 in which the amount of carbonation is in the range of from 3 vols to 8 vols. 18. The process of claim 12 in which the carbonation takes place at about 0 to 5 degrees centigrade, preferably 2 to 1 degrees centigrade. 19. The process of claim 18 in which the carbonated milk product is maintained in a pressurized carbonator holding tank or settling tank in order to facilitate the carbonated milk product to mature and saturate. 20. The process of claim 19 in which the holding or settling tank is maintained at a pressure of 459 KPa and a temperature of from 2 to 6 degrees centigrade. 21. The process of claim 12 in which the carbonated milk product is packaged into sterile containers. 22. A method of aerating or carbonating a shelf stable pre-heated and pressurized ultra heat treated milk dairy liquid product to a high level of carbonization while not destabilizing the shelf stable pre-heated milk liquid dairy product, comprising:(1) pre-heating the milk liquid dairy product within a temperature/time range of at least 85 to 138 degrees centigrade for a time period not in excess of 5 seconds;(2) ultra-heating the milk liquid dairy product within a temperature time range of at least 150 degrees centigrade for an appropriate time required to kill at least one of a list of harmful agents including microorganisms, pathogens and bacteria where it is held at a pressure of 700 KPA or an appropriate pressure required to kill at least one of a list of harmful agents including microorganisms, pathogens and bacteria, and flavoring the liquid dairy product, whereby any flavoring ingredient, acidifying ingredient and preservative ingredient is introduced sequentially to the liquid dairy product and each ingredient is individually mixed before the next ingredient is added;(3) homogenizing the liquid dairy product;(4) cooling the liquid dairy product to a temperature of less than about 10 degrees centigrade;(5) subjecting the cooled liquid dairy product to pressurized carbon dioxide from a carbonator at sufficient pressures and for a sufficient time such that the taste and mouth feel of carbonated liquid dairy product is no longer that of the un-carbonated liquid dairy product, provided that at least 3 vols. to 8 vols. of carbon dioxide are dissolved in the liquid dairy product, and;(6) packaging the so carbonated liquid dairy product in shelf stable closed containers capable of retaining the degree of carbonation without refrigeration,wherein the step of flavoring comprises the sequential steps of:adding sugar and corn syrup and mixing for a minimum of five minutes,adding flavoring and colors and mixing for a minimum of five minutes,adding calcium supplementation and vitamin supplementation and mixing for a minimum of two minutes,adding phosphoric acid and citric acid and mixing for a minimum of two minutes, andadding preservatives and stabilizers and mixing for a minimum of five minutes,wherein the calcium supplementation includes calcium benzoate, the preservatives includes benzoic acid, and the stabilizers includes kappa-carrageenan. 23. The process of claim 22, wherein the flavoring is lemon vanilla and comprises a sweetness of 12.6° on the Brix scale and a total acidity of 26.6 gm/L, and wherein the total carbonation of the final product is 2.2% by volume. 24. The process of claim 22, wherein the flavoring is strawberry and comprises a sweetness of 12.6° on the Brix scale and a total acidity of 21.3 gm/L, and wherein the total carbonation of the final product is 2.2% by volume. 25.
