Nutraceutical Drying Equipment

When it comes to vegan alternative plant-based sources, we always think about replacing meat and dairy. But have you ever thought of replacing food additives such as gelatine, an animal-derived ingredient? Agar-agar is emerging as a seaweed-based alternative. The appeal of agar-agar is that it doesn't need to be refrigerated and can stay at room temperature; it is insoluble in cold water and dissolves well in liquids at over 90° Celsius. You find it in powder format for most industrial applications. But agar-agar processing also delivers flakes or threads for food production.

Agar-agar

Calcium carbonate makes up almost one-twentieth of the earth’s crust. But the abundant mineral is found in many living things, including the human body. However, processing calcium carbonate extracts the multi-purpose material from inorganic sediments, namely limestone, chalk, and marble.

Gummies make everything more colorful. The squishy droplets make a tasty and practical carrier of special ingredients such as CBD oil. Chewing the gum increases the bioavailability of the substance as opposed to vaping. But before the cannabidiol can take effect, it must first be processed through a line of CBD gummy equipment.

CBD gummies

While still forbidden in many countries, there's plenty of room for the use of cannabidiol, or CBD. It’s the second most present active ingredient of the cannabis plant and, no, it won’t get anybody high. What it does, really, once it’s out of the CBD oil processing equipment, is to provide many well-being and health benefits. They go from treating depression and anxiety to relieving pain and unmanageable diseases' symptoms.

CBD oil

Chewable tablets are suitable for patients who have difficulty swallowing. Chewable tablet formulation masks the natural flavors of pharma drugs and alters their aftertaste. But besides the taste, chewable tablets favor the bioavailability of pharmaceutical ingredients.

Chewable tablets

Around a third of your natural protein composition is collagen. But the human body still finds good use for more of it, whether to reinforce joints or aid digestion. Collagen powder processing breaks the chains of amino acids into smaller units, allowing them to be consumed at higher concentrations without changing your diet.

Echinacea, also known as coneflowers, are brightly hued flowers with distinguished, cone-shaped flower heads. Over 200 medicines in the world are derived from coneflower extracts. Echinacea processing was introduced by Native Americans who were interested in the plant's medicinal qualities.

Echinacea extract

Elderberry falls squarely in the category of superfoods. Every part of the plant (flowers, berries, and bark) is loaded with vitamins, antioxidants, bioflavonoids, and other compounds. However, cyanide in the plant could be lethal if consumed raw, making elderberry extraction processing complex.

What’s the only living connection between our present world and the age of dinosaurs? The ginkgo biloba plant. Also known as the maidenhair tree, it is regarded as a living fossil and has been around for more than 200 million years. Ancient civilizations in China were already mastering ginkgo processing centuries ago and the tradition soon flourished around the world.

Ginkgo extract

Panax ginseng is a medicinal plant with a long history steeped in myth. The term “panax” itself is derived from a Greek word for “panacea” or “cure all”. As ginseng processing technology continues to develop, this famous traditional extract keeps finding new applications.

The two-piece capsule is a visual shorthand for all types of medical remedies. Advances in technology have made the production of hard-gelatin capsules a convenient delivery method for drugs and other ingested substances. But the simple solution requires micrometric precision to be manufactured to the proper pharmaceutical standards.

Hard gelatin capsules

The nonproprietary name for HPMC – hydroxypropyl methylcellulose – is such a mouthful that it has two abbreviations. Hypromellose is the other one. The non-ionized material offers a safe alternative to gelatin capsules, especially as most common API and excipients are suitable HPMC capsule ingredients.

HPMC capsules

Hyaluronic acid is a natural lubricant found in all mammals. An effective humectant, its molecules can hold a thousand times their weight in water. However, hyaluronic acid extraction is a complex biotechnological process that requires a specialized manufacturing technique.

Multilayer tablets are a popular fixed-dose combination (FDC) offering a range of release profiles for effective drug delivery. Multilayer tablet technology solves challenges to API consistency, allowing manufacturers to develop formulations from incompatible ingredients while optimizing the release profile for immediate release and controlled release.

Multi-layer tablets

Fish oil was a folk remedy long before scientists identified the nutritional value of essential fatty acids. But Omega 3 processing has come a long way since the days of raw fish parts fermenting in a barrel. In fact, new supplement formulations of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) may not use fish at all.

Omega 3 oil

The billions of microbes living in our gut have a significant impact on gastrointestinal health, mood, and behavior. Every individual develops their microbiome community. Probiotic processing technology makes sure that harmful bacteria never outnumber good citizens.

Probiotics

It took the scientific community almost 70 years to agree on the name ‘protein’ and discard the popular alternative, proteid. But protein powder processing still needed another five decades to be commercialized in the 1950s. Once extraction and purification could be industrialized, protein powder soon became a basic staple supplement.

Protein powder

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

The cannabis industry is one of the fastest growing in the world with a revenue of $20.47 billion in 2020 which is expected to soar up to $197.74 billion in 2028. The famous cannabis substance that causes marijuana's psychological effects is THC and it was first isolated in 1964. There are two methods of extracting THC from cannabis: solvent-based and non-solvent extraction. Each technique requires different THC oil extraction equipment.

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient, but the human species lost the ability to produce it biologically during the course of evolution. Instead, we source the substance either from whole foods or vitamin C manufacturing. The chemical characteristics of the natural nutrient and processed compound are the same, but supplements offer higher concentrations, especially to persons with nutrient deficiencies.

Vitamin C

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.

Mealworms are a classic angling bait, but their high protein content makes them more than just a snack for fish. The fresh larvae of the insect have long been consumed in Southeast Asia and, in 2021, the European Commission approved dried yellow mealworm as an edible product.

Mealworm protein

Black Soldier fly larvae (BSF or BSFL), also known by its scientific name, Hermentia Illucens, offer great nutritional values, making them an excellent alternative protein source for animal feed and pet food. Black soldier fly technologies have evolved sufficiently to turn the insect into a viable food ingredient. But there is no official authorization for human consumption yet and you are unlikely to find them at a restaurant anytime soon.

Ceramics are defined as inorganic and non-metallic materials. Tthey are typically brittle, hard, and elastic as well as resistant to heat and corrosion; in fact, after shaping them into the desired shape, they are heated in an oven called kiln at very high temperatures (1,000 °C to 1,600 °C). Kaolinite and aluminum oxide are the best-known examples of ceramics.

Ceramics

Due to their potential hazardous nature, chemicals are classified for proper identification and safety during production. Chemical classification depends on their properties, structures and functions. In the chemical industry, you can regard them as basic chemicals such as acids, chemical products to produce plastic materials and finished chemicals for use in cosmetology. As a manufacturer or engineer, you want to know their reactivity when using chemical processing equipment.

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.

With the increase in the world population and rising concerns for environmental sustainability, the market for suitable new protein sources is expanding rapidly. Traditional agricultural methods alone can’t deliver sufficient protein to meet the projected food demand over the next decades. Insects provide an alternative source of nutrients. But insect protein does not mean direct insect consumption. Extracting protein and amino acids from farmed insects is more sustainable and efficient. Specialized insect protein processing technology is driving the transformation toward new protein sources.

Insect protein

Eating is more than just nutrition, but we have found ways to increase the nourishing power of our foods. Nutraceuticals manufacturing, from vitamin C powder and probiotics to omega 3 oil, is a concentration of natural ingredients and health supplements that complement our diets. While dietary supplements are not quite haute cuisine, the process of extraction and purification is no less a blend of science and art.

Nutraceuticals

Pharmaceutical developments walk side by side with health advances to provide new medicines, treatments, and therapies that have increased life quality and extended life expectancy by years. Pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment helps deliver products to a great deal of the population, but there’s a significant share that doesn’t benefit from them yet. Over 2 billion people cannot get the medicines they need, according to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, and local production might be a way to provide for these people.

Do you know that the famous classical music composer and pianist Ludwig van Beethoven insisted on drinking a cup of coffee made from exactly 60 pieces of coffee beans? Currently, around 50% of the world’s green coffee beans undergo processing through instant coffee manufacturing equipment to produce instant coffee. The process requires roasting, grinding, brewing, and heating to obtain the extract; the coffee extract will either go through a spray drying process or a freeze-drying process.

Instant coffee

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

A juicy piece of fruit evokes images of sunlight and warmth. But manufacturers take the reverse route and freeze the harvested products to keep their nutritious mix of minerals, fibers, and vitamins intact. Frozen fruit processing equipment takes temperatures down to around -18 °C, giving the foods an extended lease of life. Many smoothies, jams, and purees we consume are the fruit of frozen labor.

Frozen fruit

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

Drying meat was the prevalent method of conserving meat cuts when food could not be chilled. But dried meat products developed into delicacies and remained a culinary mainstay long after the functional need for preservation was answered with refrigeration. The ancient techniques have been replaced by dried meat processing equipment, but the time-honored recipes remain unchanged.

It goes by many names. Freeze drying, lyophilization, or cryodesiccation is a form of dehydration that involves freezing the product to remove its water content and then removing the ice by sublimation – this means going from the solid to the gaseous state without going through the liquid phase. Freeze dryers are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry to increase the shelf life of products such as vaccines and other injectables. Due to their ability to best preserve the flavors, freeze dryers are used for food preservation in the food industry by dehydrating high-value products such as seasonal fruits or coffee. Industrial freeze drying systems are usually comprised of multiple components including vacuum pumps, stainless steel condensers, some form of heating and lastly, a chamber for drying where the materials are placed and processed.

With over one-third of the population consuming it daily in different forms, coffee is one of the most popular processed beverages worldwide. Not only serving as drinks, but coffee is also often regarded as a culture. Coffee manufacturing is a knowledge-intensive industry. Coffee beans from different regions will reveal different tastes, while the level of caffeine could also be different. When it comes to coffee bean processing, the range of roasts varies from light golden brown all the way to dark. The method of tasting coffee differs between countries, habits, and tools.

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.
