Steam Sterilization for Nutraceuticals: Ensuring Safety and Quality

Nutraceuticals are consumed by millions of people every day for better health, wellness, and nutrition. From herbal powders and botanical extracts to protein blends and dietary supplements, these products must be both safe and effective. However, natural ingredients are often exposed to microbial contamination during cultivation, drying, storage, and transport.

At Bioactive Services, we provide steam sterilization for nutraceuticals—a clean, natural, and effective method that eliminates harmful microorganisms while preserving the product’s nutritional and functional properties.

What is Steam Sterilization for Nutraceuticals?

Steam sterilization is a controlled process where saturated steam is applied at the right temperature and pressure to inactivate bacteria, yeast, mold, and pathogens. Unlike chemical fumigation or irradiation, steam sterilization for nutraceuticals is:

• 100% chemical-free
• Radiation-free
• Globally compliant with FDA, USDA, and international standards
• Safe for organic and clean-label products

This makes it the preferred solution for manufacturers who prioritize safety, purity, and sustainability.
