Shelf-life for nuts and oil-bearing
cereals
CO2 treatment process carefully infuses antioxidants into the fruits
Shelf-life significantly increased
Nuts are very tasty – but they do have one problem: when they come into contact with oxygen in the air the unsaturated fatty acids oxidize and the nuts start going rancid. Food technologists throughout the world, therefore, have long been searching for ways to increase the shelf-life not only of nuts but also of certain other types of cereal and coffee beans.
Raps has now patented a process in which a completely natural high-pressure treatment is used to transfuse into the fruits natural antioxidants that inhibit rancidity. The best thing about this is: this process is invisible from the outside of the fruits and does not modify either the structure or the taste in any way. Using this innovative technology packing and drying processes can be reduced or completely side-stepped. Raps sees in this a variety of new application possibilities where customer solutions can be taken into account at any time. There are special applications here that can bring enormous advantages for both the confectionery and snacks sectors.
