UHT milk can have a slightly burnt taste. A small amount of vitamins are lost during the processing, but this is not a large amount.
Yes, you can use UHT milk for making a cappuccino. UHT milk contains protein and is therefore capable of getting frothy.
Regular milk is separated, standardised, homogenised and sterilised (UHT treatment) before being packed. Separate and standardise - separate all milk fat from the water part and standardise to the correct butterfat percentage (ie Full Cream, Low Fat, Fat Free).
Aseptic processing means that after UHT treatment the sterile milk is transported and filled into sterile containers without recontaminating the product. Aseptic product plus aseptic packaging and seal means that no contamination should occur after sealing (until the product is opened) and that the shelflife of the product is extended.
UHT milk should be stored in a fridge (<5°C) after opening.
UHT milk is transported more easily as no cold chain is needed. This also makes it easy to import from areas where there is a massive oversupply. It can also be stocked up and sold in times when there are milk shortages.

Protein stabilisation prior to UHT heat treatment is important to ensure that proteins don't coagulate and form a sediment. If a sediment is formed during processing, the pipelines could get blocked (meaning a ever higher temperature will be needed to get the correct temperature in the product) or there might be sediment in the final product (which would not be acceptable to the customer).
There are not many benefits of processed foods. The biggest advantage or benefit is convenience of use for cooking.
Yes. Generally UHT milk has a more burnt taste due to the high heat treatment required. Fresh pasteurised milk could also have a slight burnt taste, but much less than UHT milk.
UHT milk will always be homogenised, but homogenised milk is not always UHT treated. UHT is a heat treatment applied to kill spoilage organisms and extend shelflife. Homogenisation is a process of breaking up large globules of butterfat into many smaller pieces of equal size. This prevents the butterfat from settling out of the milk and creating a cream layer on top of the milk.
