HACCP-Certified Food Processing Protocol
Every batch follows strict food safety protocols from raw material receiving to final packaging. Our HACCP system identifies and controls critical control points to ensure product safety and quality.
Raw Material Inspection & Preparation
Fresh fruits and vegetables undergo visual inspection, pesticide residue testing, and microbial screening. Organic products verified against certification standards. All materials stored in temperature-controlled cold rooms (2-8°C) until processing.
Microbial Screening: Pre-wash
Brix Measurement: Fruit ripeness
Washing, Cutting & Pre-Treatment
Triple-wash system with ozonated water removes surface contaminants. Precision cutting to uniform thickness (3-5mm) ensures consistent drying. Optional blanching for enzyme inactivation and color preservation.
Cutting Tolerance: ±0.5mm
Blanching: 85-95°C, 30-90 sec
Controlled-Rate Freezing
Rapid freezing at -40°C to -50°C creates small ice crystals, minimizing cell damage and preserving texture. Freezing rate optimized for each product type to maintain structural integrity.
Core Temperature: -35°C minimum
Holding Time: 2-4 hours
Primary & Secondary Drying
Vacuum application removes 95% of water through sublimation (primary drying), followed by temperature elevation to remove bound water (secondary drying). Final moisture content <3% ensures long-term stability.
Secondary: +20°C, 0.05 mbar, 6-12h
Final Moisture: <3%
Milling, Sieving & Packaging
Dried product milled to desired particle size (80-200 mesh) using cryogenic grinding to prevent heat damage. Sieved for uniform particle distribution. Nitrogen-flushed packaging in aluminum foil bags or HDPE containers.
Nitrogen Purity: >99.9%
Oxygen Level: <2% in package
Comprehensive Testing & Certification
Every batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure food safety, nutritional integrity, and regulatory compliance. Our in-house laboratory is equipped with advanced analytical instruments for complete quality verification.
