Metabolomics: a tool to understand our food Food industrial processing can influence its chemistry and composition, thus studying such an impact is relevant to provide new knowledge regarding their safety and possible…
Microwave products: Guide to Marketing Communication What kind of information should you use to sell a product that has been treated with microwaves?
Microwaves in the food industry Microwaves have a number of applications in food industry, including preservation, tempering, thawing, drying and pre treatments.
Packaging for use with UV-C To achieve optimum microbial reductions for in-package UV treatment, it is necessary to select a highly transmissive packaging material.
Packaging of PEF treated food Pulsed electric fields (PEF) is designed to be applied before packaging*, so the packaging comes after the PEF processing.
Packaging of ultrasound treated food In most scenarios ultrasound is a a technology that will be applied before packaging.
Packaging when using high pressure When food products are subjected to extreme pressures, the volume decreases as a result of the pressure applied (corresponding to the compressibility of the product). A…
Packaging when using microwaves For food that is going to be heat treated in microwave tunnels at the manufacturer or that will be heated in a household microwave oven, it is important to choose a packaging…
PEF: Impact on food safety and shelf-life The efficacy of PEF to inactivate vegetative cells has been widely demonstrated, and it can, therefore, be used as a method for the pasteurisation or shelf-life extension of…
PEF products: Guide to Marketing Communication What information should you use when your food product is treated with pulsed electric fields (PEF)?
PEF in the food industry Pulsed electric fields (PEF) is one of the most promising non-thermal technologies as a gentle method of food preservation.
Plasma-activated water: Guide to Marketing Communication Currently, it is not applicable to sell products treated with plasma-activated water because legislation does not permit this. However, we have investigated the type of…
Sustainability in novel food processing technology and products Nowadays it is not enough to deliver food processesing technologies and food products with a high quality, it also should be done in a sustainable way that does not harm the…
The effects of microwaves on food safety and shelf life When microwave ovens first appeared on the domestic market, there was a lot of debate about the radiation hazards or the risks involved in microwave energy leakage. However,…
The role of food waste in environmental analyses of processed foods What does the environment gain from us processing our food? We have used life cycle assessment methodology as a background to calculate this.
Ultrasound for drying, freezing and thawing Ultrasound is gaining interest in the food industry due to its potential to improve processes based in mass and energy transfer. This document summarises its use for improving the…
