Microbiological risks of untreated plants and herbs
Plants and herbs, often used in the food, cosmetic, or dietary supplement industries, are particularly vulnerable to microbiological contamination. When not properly handled or stored, they can harbor pathogens such as Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, or Staphylococcus aureus.
Solution: Steam pasteurization under air vacuum
Steripure offers a steam pasteurization technology under air vacuum, specially designed for low-moisture products such as plants and herbs. This thermal process allows to:
-Reduce microbiological load without altering the organoleptic properties of the products
-Preserve intrinsic qualities (taste, color, active compounds)
-Comply with the strictest food safety standards
Thanks to perfect control of time, temperature, and pressure parameters, Steripure guarantees an effective and natural treatment without adding chemicals.
