The Problems
Are your products treated using validated parameters?
How is your powdered material treated? Do you receive homogenized free flowing, uniform powder back?
Do you have excessive VO loss? Would you like to minimize the VO loss and maintain organoleptic properties
Would you appreciate in-plant unique identification numbers for each lot?
Do you need to treat blends without segregation of ingredients or loss of components?
The Solutions
We offer validation parameters developed by third party process expert which corresponds to greater than five log reduction for pathogens.
Our proprietary treatment process continuously churns the product to minimize lump formations. In addition, all material is passed through a centrifugal sifter to separate out any remaining lumps which can be de-lumped back to powder form.
Since the product is subjected to heat and steam for a very short duration (<8 minutes) and subsequently flash cooled to room temperature, the VO losses and degradation of organoleptic properties are minimized.
Each lot to be treated is provided with a unique in-process Lot ID for tracking purposes.
Evaluation of several delicate spice blends and tea blends indicates that the treatment can be performed without segregation of ingredients or any significant loss of blend components.

Our Story
Our Safe Sterilization Services came into being in 2009 as a response to the EU’s ban on sterilizing raw nutraceutical ingredients with ethylene oxide and iodizing radiation. Wanting to provide a safe and superior heat/steam treatment for both dry & wet food products, they set about creating a proprietary continuous treatment process that could reduce or eliminate contamination in delicate and aromatic ingredients by a safe, natural method. With these new advances, we been able to achieve a ≥5 log microbial outcome without losing the vital properties of flavor, color, aroma, texture or nutrition.
The process works with products in both cut and powdered forms of
