A microbial contamination ? What solutions do we have ?
There are several solutions to get rid of a #microbial contamination problem
1️⃣ Chemistry
Beyond regulatory bans, there is a consensus not to adopt this solution. Such as#ethyleneoxide found on many #sesame #psyllium products from India.

2️⃣ Ionization
It is an effective technology and is allowed in France only for a list of products. If these products are not in the list, they cannot be processed. Spices can be, but in this case it must be mentioned on the final labeling “treated with ionizing radiation”. Due to this regulatory obligation, there are hardly any products treated with this technology !

3️⃣ Waves
The principle of waves that agitate the water molecules in the product is interesting, but in practice it is simply not effective with low moisture products. The humidity of a dry product is not uniform, so the product is overheated in some places and not enough in others.

4️⃣ High pressure
High pressure, we should say very high pressure, is a technology that is developing but it is not suitable for low moisture products. It is difficult to pass this pressure on this type of dry product while it works well on liquid products or shellfish.
5️⃣ Heat
This is the best solution, but not anyhow…
