Treatment of dried fruit mixes
Are you facing contamination issues in your dried fruit mixes?
Yeasts, moulds, high total flora, pathogenic or non-pathogenic bacteria, and even insects can compromise the commercialisation of your products.
At Steripure, we offer THE natural, ECOCERT-certified solution to ensure the safety and quality of your mixes — while preserving their original organoleptic properties.
The solution for processing your dried fruit mixes at Steripure
The treatment of nut and raisin mixes is complex but possible at Steripure. The sugar content of the fruits can lead to various issues, such as increased development of yeasts, moulds, and/or other microorganisms.
Thanks to our advanced technology, your mixes benefit from real added value:
Preservation of the crunchiness of nuts
Reduction of total flora, yeasts and moulds
99.999% reduction of pathogens
Homogeneous treatment of all ingredients
Preservation of the tenderness of raisins
100% natural process, chemical-free, ECOCERT certified
Our “perfect” saturated steam is neither wet nor dry. Its temperature can be adjusted between 85°C and 120°C depending on the level of contamination and product type, without altering the moisture content or water activity (AW).
What composition for your dried fruit mixes?
This treatment is currently applicable to mixes containing up to 30% raisins. Tests are ongoing to extend this capability to 40% raisin content.
