Air Products will showcase how the use of industrial gases in food processing applications can help natural, organic and healthy food producers increase productivity and improve food quality at the Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, California, from 8th to 10th March.
Show attendees are invited to stop by Air Products’ booth N343, where the Tier One company will highlight its Freshline® solutions using liquid nitrogen (N2) and carbon dioxide (CO2), which provide numerous benefits in food freezing and chilling applications. Due to the extremely cold temperatures of these cryogenic gases, food products can be chilled or frozen in minutes instead of the hours traditionally required with alternative systems. This rapid freeze results in smaller product weight losses and ensures moisture and quality are maintained longer.
Cryogenic gases are also beneficial in grinding nutraceuticals, spices and other ingredients. During grinding operations, liquid N2 can be used to eliminate frictional heat to help improve mill throughput and grind consistency. This also helps prevent the loss of flavor and aroma components.
