Soup drying

Broth

Instant soup is quite popular due to its ease of use and quick preparation. Products like cup noodles and vegetable soup mixes are some of the examples commonly used by consumers. The instant soup processing equipment is used to dehydrate or dry components of the soup mixture to prolong shelf life and preserve the taste of the vegetables and other components.

A beverage is any kind of liquid or drink, usually other than water, made for human consumption. Beverages are further classified into two categories: alcoholic beverages and non-alcoholic beverages. Alcoholic beverages refer to liquids that contain 1% to 75% of liquor and are produced by fermentation such as wine, beer, or distillation such as vodka, rum, tequila. Non-alcoholic beverages are drinks that don’t have any liquor such as tea, coffee, fruit juices, soft drinks, and carbonated beverages. They can be produced premix or postmix, depending on the setup of your production line.

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.

Around 1860, American businessman James Spratt made dog biscuits by mixing vegetables, flour, beetroot, and meat. His novel idea came after he noticed dogs eating leftover biscuits from ships in England. Following the commercial success in Britain, he started production in America, and it didn’t take long before others developed their own baked pet food formulas. But the need for more palatability led to experiments beyond the oven. In 1956, extruded dry pet food production made its splash on the market.

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.

Belt drying equipment is used predominantly in the chemical industry but can also be found in other industries. This machinery uses conveyor belts to move raw materials through hot air produced by heat exchangers or by using gas. Belt dryers are suitable for continuous air drying and cooling applications. They use heated air or an inert drying gas to remove the moisture, as the product passes through a drying chamber, on a perforated mesh belt. Belt dryers are suitable for industries producing pelletized or granular, dry bulk products. Drying time and the overall drying process depends on the type of product you aim to make.

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.

<h2>Different soups - different soup making equipment</h2>
Soups consist of various vegetables- potatoes, tomatoes, pumpkins, mushrooms, carrots and sometimes even dairy - all of which require different steps. In order to make soup, all ingredients must be properly cleaned, peeled, chopped and sliced into smaller pieces for optimal food processing.

As different vegetables are used and different soup recipes are formulated, changes must be made in the soup production line to include different equipment for pre-treating the vegetables. Potatoes and carrots must be peeled, while tomatoes are blanched to remove their bitter flavonols-rich skins.
After the ingredients are prepared, manufacturers can use different cooking techniques and soup making equipment like blanchers, steamers, stockpots immersion blenders and slow cookers, among others.

During blanching, vegetables are immersed in boiling water or steam before <a href="https://www.mdpi.com/2223-7747/9/12/1769/htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">enzymes are deactivated</a>. Some vegetables like eggplants need particular attention because they are sensitive to post-cooking browning. The problem can be avoided by adding antioxidants during blanching.
Soup can be further processed, depending on whether you are making ready-to-eat or dry mix soup. Ready-to-eat soup is deaerated to prevent oxidation and changes in color, while dry mix soup’s ingredients are dehydrated so they can be reconstituted with boiling water at a later date.

<h2>How does thermal processing affect vegetables?</h2>
Vegetables must undergo an industrial thermal process before being consumed. Heat treatment definitely brings benefits such as increased protective compounds, but it can also <a href="https://www.mdpi.com/2223-7747/9/12/1769/htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cause color degradation and losses of nutritional and soluble compounds</a> (sugars and soluble fibers). Whether these conditions occur or not depends both on the characteristics of the vegetable to be processed such as enzymes or oxygen concentration and on the severity of the heat treatment.

For example, it has been determined that steaming reduces the loss of fat-soluble nutrients better than boiling. Instead, a study conducted by the <a href="https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/48325486/s0308-8146_2898_2900154-x20160825-11145-xe3osj-with-cover-page-v2.pdf?Expires=1646993817&amp;Signature=BmvaS-NPK6QCyjE10Yaikm2chwGFOOvai0gOSnua5ROHimXUwf94IDHlMLTjxSs8plUwJfOdwAcxrii2VI3b2gxYjKa8egXNaCdT1CiFhQf66jbLGMf1bFlD6ygjCdKTTVqP9GOYS6uc4vNN2wORaqwa5X7IgAPSsvbi909jvfZr0TMbla4zD0NhkiEqZf28bwExuLs9q8QuZEVx8~PKJ0DO0uKs9DrW3EnEbw4n~JTUhYEbPlynpKZ0-jrDPovuWGzdREcMJRvK7XnzgiFpL4u2-gnI22i0mdzfvd2jG7Wlfg4FhUZ91vgAzwKURau3M77SE~AB1MQP1lCoTUwwPQ__&amp;Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Institute of Nutrition at Mahidol</a> University in Thailand showed low losses in the vegetable’s β-carotene content when blanching, only 7-11%, while steaming, frying and boiling showed greater losses, 15, 18 and 43%.

There are two methods of removing microorganisms in the soup manufacturing process: pasteurization and sterilization. The choice between the two depends on the<a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/food-science/canned-soup" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> pH of the soup</a>- most meat and vegetable-based soups have low acidity and manufacturers can fully sterilize them. In this case, sterilization temperature are above 100 °C and the product is then cooled down and transferred into previously sterilized packaging.

If the soup’s pH is in the acid range, pasteurization is recommended. Different temperatures for pasteurization are required to complement the pH range, for example if the pH range is between 3.4 and 4.0, the recommended temperature is 85°C. If it falls between 4.3 and 4.5, the recommended temperature for pasteurization is 99°C.

Canned soup is immensely popular owing to its versatile and recyclable packaging. After transferring the ready-to-eat soup into cans, can seamers ensure the product is sealed properly to prevent spoiling and spilling.

Since the invention of canning, soup’s packaging has evolved to plastic pouches that are re-sealable easy to use. High-speed stainless steel pouch packaging machines rapidly package liquid products into flexible pouches with great precision.

Soup trays are also gaining popularity because they can be frozen and microwaved, providing a single serving of soup. During the manufacturing process, trays are filled with soup and then sealed with tray sealers which secure the contents and prevent spillage.
