Healthy Snacks Cooking Equipment

The essence of the oceans plays a role in sustainable food production and is an often overlooked superfood. Compared to traditional crops, algae requires minimal land and resources. Processed into food powders like spirulina or chlorella or into seaweed snacks, algae is considered to be one of the foods of the future. It provides you with vitamins, minerals, and proteins and assists the world in food security concerns. It is a popular ingredient in the supplement and cosmetics industry too.

The cereal bar production line consists of mixing, cutting and cooling a dough of chosen ingredients. These can be seeds, nuts, chocolate chips, dried fruits - and many more options. It may seem simple, but it needs attention to provide an appetizing look and taste.

Cereal bars

Fruit dehydration is the earliest form of food preservation, with the earliest written record of dried fruits dating back to ancient Mesopotamian tablets, which contain the world’s earliest known recipes. Today, some of the most popular dried fruit snacks are raisins, dates, mango, pineapple, prunes, figs and apricots. Dried fruit processing equipment helps preserve the nutrients and sweetness of the fruit and prolongs its shelf life.

Dried fruit

You make granola bars from caramelized nuts, grains, and cereals, baking and shaping them into crunchy snacks. Granola bar production involves mixing, forming, baking, and cutting into bars. The quality of granola bars is affected by baking. How the sugar caramelizes and blends with the other ingredients determines the final taste and texture of your granola bar.

Granola bars

Peanut, which (ironically) is a legume, is the make-or-break ingredient of your mixed nuts manufacturing process. “Deluxe” packs tend to avoid them, as their price is much more affordable than other nuts, therefore not being premium. For a regular mix, on the other hand, peanuts can be the major ingredient you’ll include.

Mixed nuts

Pistachio nuts offer several health benefits and are very nutritious. The most common way they are enjoyed is when they are roasted or eaten raw. Generally, pistachios are harvested when the shell splits. They are mechanically shaken and caught in a tarp. Furthermore, you can hull and dry them properly before roasting. To achieve all of this, you will need special pistachio processing equipment

Pistachios

In NASA's early years, a research program was established on how to provide food for astronauts while in space. In fact, in the 1960s, nutrition bars were launched with a label called "Space Food Sticks" because they were designed to allow astronauts to eat them easily while wearing their helmets. Protein bar manufacturing equipment is used to mix ingredients, extrude the mixture at a set temperature, cool the product before cutting it to size, coating it, and allowing it to cool to prepare it for packaging.

Protein bars

Rice cakes are a versatile, low-calorie, fiber-rich food consumed in many cultures either as a dish, like in Asian countries or as a healthy snack. Rice cake production and properties come in a wide range of varieties, and it’s important to have rice cake making equipment that can accommodate the manufacturing of all of them.

Roasted nuts

This savory snack from the ocean is a plant-based healthy treat. First, it is thoroughly cleaned, then dried and roasted to achieve a crisp texture and umami flavor. Originating from Japan, the nori leaves can be coated with different seasonings to fit your preferences. Packed with minerals such as iodine, vitamin K, calcium, iron, and magnesium, seaweed snacks come with a vast array of health benefits.

Seaweed snacks

Although popularized recently by NASA this superfood powder made of algae is not a recent discovery. The Aztecs in Mexico and communities around Lake Chad in Africa are known to have harvested and eaten spirulina as a traditional food source. It contains an impressive array of essential nutrients, including complete proteins, vitamins, minerals, such as iron and magnesium, and antioxidants.

Spirulina powder

This soy-based protein alternative has become a cornerstone in vegetarian and vegan diets. With a neutral taste and a unique ability to absorb flavors, tofu serves as a canvas for creative culinary exploration. To make tofu you need to curdle soy milk, press the curds into blocks, and then form the produce. Packed with protein, tofu not only caters to individual health but also contributes to a sustainable food future.

Tofu

From cassava to sweet potatoes, various types of vegetables are processed to make one mixed bag of vegetable chips. Mainly consisting root vegetables like taro and parsnip, vegetable chips are often introduced as a healthy alternative to potato chips. To make these chips, you first need to slice the vegetables and cook them depending on your product; you can simply bake them or fry them, deep fry them, or dry them. After this process, flavorings are added to the chips.

Vegetable chips

Chewy, sweet, and nutritious. Vitamin gummies were a couple’s attempt to get their child to take their essential micronutrients. The idea quickly caught on, and manufacturing vitamin gummies soon grew into a whole new industry.

First developed by Will Kellogg in 1894, corn flakes’ popularity grew exponentially. Made from toasting flakes of corn (maize) and served with cold milk, corn flakes have become a favorite breakfast cereal snack for millions around the world. Corn flakes production begins with milling raw corn, creating cornmeal which is then extruded to create corn flakes.

Corn flakes

Granola is one of the most beloved breakfast menus for its versatility and convenience - you can put it in milk, use it as a topping for yogurt, or even make healthy cookies out of it. Setting up a granola production equipment line is quite similar to muesli. The only difference would be that the sheet of hard grains, nuts, and dried fruits goes through the baking process.

Granola

Muesli, known as the adults’ cereal, is a loose mixture of rolled oats, whole grains, seeds, nuts, and dried fruits. Unlike granola, the muesli manufacturing process goes through rather simple steps. All of the ingredients are combined in the mixer without any specific cooking or baking process. This loose mixture is then packed individually, either in stand-up pouches, paper bags, paper tube and so on.

Industrial Cookers

Whether it is marmalade or pizza, sauce or hummus, chocolate or fruit puree, most food products undergo a cooking step during their production process. Cooking is nothing more than applying heat to food, but there are different methods to do it. For instance, baking, frying, and roasting involve cooking food without using water, unlike boiling or steaming. Industrial cookers such as vacuum and pressure cookers, industrial fryers, industrial ovens, and industrial roasters focus on specialized applications that meet the different needs of the food industry by helping producers achieve a homogeneous cooking process.

Cereals are also defined as breakfast food made from roasted grain and typically eaten with milk or yogurt. Cereal grain is a small, hard, and dry seed, which mainly harvests for human or animal consumption, like wheat, maize, or rye. Processed from the edible components of the grains, breakfast cereals contain rich nutrients and usually serve as the main course during breakfast meals. Different cereal manufacturing equipment allow various options to appear on the market, ranging from cereals, granola, and muesli. Granola and muesli can be converted into cereal bars. The healthy, on-the-go snack bar shows a growing trend due to its nutrient content and convenience.

Our food chain starts in the soil, growing crops and livestock. But between the fields and the stores, there is a line of industrial food processing equipment. Processes may be as minimalistic as cleaning fruit and as complex as homogenizing milk alternatives made from pressed legumes. In each case, processing technology is an important link in the food production chain.

If Popeye needed spinach for his power, you need healthy snacks to boost your energy! From dried fruit chips to nuts and protein bars, healthy snacks have become more popular since the 2000s, and the global healthy snack market will reach USD 98 billion by 2025. In the wide range of healthy snacks, raw fruits and vegetables appear as the main ingredient, and these snacks focus on the high protein content and reduced fat or carbohydrate percentages. Also, “less processed” and “less amount of added chemicals” are the primary trend in making healthy snacks as the clean eating movement began after the 2000s.

The heating process is a step of raising the temperature of food, pharma, cosmetics, and many other types of products. You may employ different heating solutions for this process, depending on the type of product you intend to manufacture. Selecting the appropriate heater machine for your product is quite important since various products require different ranges of temperatures and different ways of heat transfer using exchangers. Industrial heating equipment varies in two ways - the type of material it can process and the reaction you want to achieve.

During the Middle Ages, sugar sweets were a delicacy only for the rich due to the high cost of sugar. Thankfully, the discovery that sugar could be extracted from sugar beets made sweets affordable for everyone. The sweet category is broad, covering chocolates, chewing gums, sugar candies, and candied/glazed products with sugar. To make these confections, sugar manufacturing equipment needs to cover different steps within the production line such as sugar dissolution, syrup cooking and cooling.

Chewing gum is usually a polymer that you mix with flavorings – which is something most consumers have no clue about. In a survey in Iceland, 85% of people said they didn't know the product contained plastic. While there are non-plastic options more recently available, the gum base is usually natural latex or a synthetic substitute. To decrease the impacts on the environment, some producers are shifting towards more environmental-friendly options.

Children love them, and adults love them too. Extruded cereal is a typical ready-to-eat cereal with different flavors and shapes. You pour cold milk into a bowl of extruded cereal and eat them for breakfast or sometimes as a dessert. These shapes of cereals are refined by thermo-mechanical cereal extruder machines. Typically, extruded cereal can be categorized into three kinds: direct expanded cereal, co-extruded cereal, and extruded flakes. Depending on which kind of extruded cereal you are making among these three kinds, your choice of processing line will differ.

Vegan meat alternatives and plant-based foods have rapidly grown in popularity over the last decade. Many people are switching to meat substitute food products. Your body does not discriminate between proteins and calories coming from meats and those coming from plants. From a nutritional point of view, they all have the same value. But chewing on a portion of veggie pumpkin protein does not feel the same as a cut of meat - the texture is completely different.

Nougat is a delicious confection that contains lots of nuts and dried fruits. The word “nougat” itself derives from an old Latin word for nuts. In addition to nuts, the white variety of nougat contains egg whites, honey, and sugar. Similar ingredients make brown nougat variations, except caramelized sugar replaces egg whites as the base ingredient. Depending on your intended scale of production, there are quite a few nougat making equipment you should consider getting.

Fruit pulp is a mass of pressed fresh fruit not meant for immediate consumption. Production of fruit pulp avoids wasting food and preserves the flavors and nutrient value of the fruit product. Processed fruit pulp is an ingredient in beverages, sauces, baby foods, jellies, smoothies, and bakery products.

Tradition and manufacturing procedures dictate the distinction between fruit juice, puree, and pulp. Still, naming and labeling are complex and depend on regulations, type of fruit, texture, consistency, preservation methods, and sugar or solid content (measured in Degrees Brix). Depending on your desired output, there are various fruit pulper machines for different stages of production that make the process quicker and more efficient.

Dosing systems are a line of hoppers, feeders, filling machines, and checkweighers that operate in sync to dispense materials accurately. Dosing is an essential feature of the packaging process, whether you’re filling shampoo bottles or tea bags. But dosing equipment is critical for formulations, too, particularly in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Imprecise dosing may cause quality degradation in the best-case scenario. In the worst scenario, it creates serious health risks.

Dosing

The extruder was first developed to make lead pipes in the late 18th century. But the extrusion process technique quickly spread to other manufacturing sectors, including food, feed, and biomass products. An extruder machine presses a fluid or solid material through a die. Depending on your use case, extruders adopt single- or twin-screw systems to push the premixed feed material through a barrel. Thermal pressure applied in this step can chemically modify the mixture, so the screw system must be precisely calibrated to achieve the desired result. Finally, a knife head cuts the extruded material into your designed dimensions. Extrusion machinery produces items of a uniform size, shape, and consistency.

Extrusion

The process of forming allows you to shape your products homogeneously. Forming machines are fed the manufactured material in bulk and cut it down to specification, so the process takes place between formulation of the mass and the packaging of the final item.

A special class of this equipment – Form, Fill, and Seal Machines (FFS) – creates bags and pouches from flat material such as plastic sheets, fills them with your designated product, and seals them.

<h2>What exactly are healthy snacks?</h2>
“Healthy snacks” can be understood as a broad and ambiguous term. This term can be pretty unclear since the concept of healthy is subjective. In the healthy snack industry, healthy snacks are often recognized as snacks that are low in sugar, high in protein, no trans fats, and high in fiber. They are made of natural (possibly organic) ingredients grown without <a href="https://www.warrellcorp.com/innovation/healthier-candy-manufacturing-capabilities/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pesticides or antibiotics</a>, with no <a href="https://www.quimachi.com/production-how-its-done/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives</a>. And all of these features are often labeled as one of the followings - whole grain, fiber-rich, high protein, no fats, gluten-free, organic, no added sugar, natural or no preservatives, probiotics, antioxidant-rich, or immunity-boosting.

The physical format of healthy snacks can be divided into three big categories - bars, chips, and mixed nuts. Bars are considered the most convenient form of healthy snacks as they are easy to take on the go. They are often made of whole grains, ancient grains, cereals, seeds, and nuts. Currently, cereal and granola bars and protein bars dominate this segment.

For the second category, there are chips. In the healthy snacks industry, chip manufacturers often attempt to produce a healthier version of conventional potato chips by replacing potatoes with multigrain, rice, corn, wheat, fruits, and vegetables. They focus on achieving low-fat, low sodium, and high nutrients in their products. The producers, hence, often use the baking method instead of frying or using all-natural non-GMO ingredients.

Lastly, there are nuts and seed mixes. They are beloved due to their portability, convenience, and variety in flavors; also, the natural attribute of being <a href="https://www.aranca.com/knowledge-library/articles/ip-research/healthy-snacks-a-high-potential-market" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gluten-free and rich in omega</a> contributes to their popularity. Ingredients like cashew, peanut, almonds, hazelnuts, flaxseeds, chia seeds, and hemp seeds are popular in nut and seed mix products.

<h2>New healthy snack production technologies - preserve the nutritional quality and taste of your ingredients!</h2>
Ultrasound and microwave-assisted vacuum frying technology is a new way of frying technology that can not only enhance the look of fried foods but also enhances the quality of food as it maintains the <a href="https://cablevey.com/technologies-and-equipment-in-processing-snack-foods/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">heat-sensitive and oxidation-sensitive nutrients</a>. Also, since this technology is operated at a lower temperature than regular fryer machines, the producer utilizing this new vacuum frying technology can save more energy and earn higher yields. 

&nbsp;

Another new technology is pulsed electric field (PEF) pre-processing treatments. PEF uses pulses of electricity and pierces the cell membranes to emit further fluid out of fruits or vegetables. This non-thermal technology can maintain the nutrients of raw ingredients, and it helps the end product to contain a lower amount of sugar and acrylamide. Additionally, it saves<a href="https://www.futurebridge.com/industry/perspectives-food-nutrition/disruptive-technologies-to-conceptualize-healthy-snacks/"> water and energy consumption</a> for operation by 90%.

Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) is a technology used to preserve raw ingredients by freezing them individually. Here, the freezing process takes only a few minutes, and the food ingredients are frozen separately. This freezing technology is famous for its ability to preserve the sensory and physio-chemical traits of raw ingredients. Often raw ingredients consisting of multiple small pieces such as berries, peas, and corn are treated with this technology.

<h2>What is trending in healthy snacks? - personalize your snacks for different demographics and pay attention to the environmental impact!</h2>
If you are a producer of healthy snacks, it is crucial to be aware of the new trends in the healthy snacks industry. Plant-based snack is a hot topic as there is a rise in vegetarian and vegan populations, specifically in the younger generation. <a href="https://www.euromonitor.com/article/these-five-trends-will-redefine-global-snacks-to-2027" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Plant-based snacks </a>incorporate ingredients like turmeric, ashwagandha, folic acid, and green tea, which can increase the product's health value by providing additional vitamins and minerals.

Another topic is personalized snacks. Like the vegetarian or vegan trend, consumers nowadays seek snacks that can accommodate their lifestyle and dietary or health requirements. Consequently, customized nutrition became popular. Customers are less concerned about the sugar, fat, or protein content but more about how these snacks can meet the ideal lifestyle they aim to achieve. <a href="https://explodingtopics.com/blog/snacking-trends" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mood-boosting, gut-friendly, and sleep-better snacks</a> are examples of this topic.

Finally, there is a trend concerning the environment. When purchasing healthy snacks, customers would like to know if the product is trustworthy and sustainable. Hence, displaying a clear and honest explanation of the <a href="https://www.aranca.com/knowledge-library/articles/ip-research/healthy-snacks-a-high-potential-market" target="_blank" rel="noopener">source of ingredients, manufacturing and packaging details</a> (if they are recyclable or biodegradable), and farming and collection routes (concerning carbon footprint) became important factors for consumers. Naturally, upcycled snacks have been spotlighted as an environmentally friendly alternative that reduces waste generation.

When sealing large bags containing bulk products, a sealer must be reliable to keep the MAP safe in order to avoid products going to waste due to subpar sealing quality. Manual operation for sealing is still very common in the industry, but it is prone to error and inconsistent output. Automating the sealing process can minimize operator error and produce consistently secured sealing.


<h2>Automated complete sealing by single-button operation</h2>
The Automatic Spout Sealer, from Somsix, is a sealing system for large bags used in industrial applications. The system features automated, user-friendly controls where the sealing settings can be preset for a consistent output in every cycle. This method significantly reduces operator error over manual hand-operated sealers. The operator simply positions the spout in the seal mouth and presses one button to execute the sealing process, including the cooling necessary after heating for a complete and secured seal.

Automatic FIBC Sealing machine

Manufacturers requiring big bag packaging have specific sizes, shapes, and material requirements to ensure their products can be handled safely during transportation and storage. However, the FIBC manufacturing process is only sometimes considered sustainable since these big bags are made of polyethylene, which is difficult to recycle. An ideal solution would be working on preventing waste by producing custom-made big bags of the exact right sizes and shapes required by the manufacturer to save on excess offcuts and material costs and minimize production waste.
<h2>Preventing 10-20% of waste by producing big bags in custom shapes, sizes, and material</h2>
Masterpack Group, a leading expert in innovative packaging solutions for bulk materials, designed custom big bag containers used as packaging that provide increased protection, prolong product shelf life, and optimize storage space. FIBCs are available in different shapes, such as circular or U-shape. They can be equipped with specific liner materials like conductive, aluminum, anti-static, dissipative, metalized OPP, or whichever is best for your product. Liners also help protect products from oxygen, moisture, and other possible contaminants while providing safe filling and discharge. The FIBCs are hygienic, and the PE films used as liners are designed and fabricated according to the correct size, not cut to shape from a big tubular PE film. This method minimizes waste in the production of each liner.

Modified Atmosphere Big Bags

Products packed in large bulk bags, such as FIBCs, require vacuum pressure and accurate oxygen or nitrogen content control. Modifying the atmosphere inside the packaging by lowering oxygen levels to 1% or less can protect the products from molds and other microorganisms, as well as insects and rodents, resulting in a prolonged product shelf life.


<h2>Creating an atmosphere with oxygen levels below 1% inside your bulk bags</h2>
The Vacuum and Gas Injection Machine, from Somsix, is a system used to create the optimum atmosphere conditions inside FIBCs or large bags during the packaging of bulk products. The unit allows the operator to create a vacuum and insert the necessary gases in a single cycle to increase productivity. The procedure is done by removing air from a sealed container before injecting essential gases like oxygen, nitrogen, or carbon dioxide into that container. It can also reduce oxygen levels in FIBCs down to 1% or lower in a very short time.

The system has an integrated leak test at the end of each cycle to automatically check for possible leaks in every bag. This feature prevents costly and time-consuming errors. The entire system is built based on food-grade standards guaranteeing hygienic operation.

Vacuum and Gas Injection System for FIBCs

Basically, to make milk powder, you need to remove the water content from the liquid milk and turn it into powder. How to do it? After pasteurizing and homogenizing the milk, milk’s water content is removed through filtration, evaporation, and drying. You have then to cool and sieve it before filling the containers. Here's how you get milk powder.

From being grown in the field to roasting and slicing, the manufacture and processing of almonds is a multi-tiered operation. After removing their hull, also known as almond hulling, you can process almonds in various ways to achieve the requested consistency. Whether you chop the almond, finely mill them or turn them into almond milk, they require special care and equipment for nut processing.

Almonds

Cashews come from a tropical tree native to Central America. They have become prominent and your nut mix will not be complete without them. The cashew processing method involves roasting, shell drying, peeling, grading, fumigation and packaging. You have to conduct these processing methods with care to obtain quality cashew nuts. In order to achieve this, you'll need the appropriate machinery for your cashew processing plant.

Cashews

In Ancient Rome, hazelnut plants were valuable gifts as it was believed to bring happiness. In modern days, hazelnuts still bring happiness, mainly in the form of Nutella. While most nuts are botanically classified as fruits, hazelnuts are, along with chestnuts and acorns, true nuts. Once harvested, the nuts are dried and ready to be processed in various hazelnut processing equipment.
