Even the ancient Egyptians knew about the effect of ethylene on the ripening of fruit and made use of it. Today, the fruit-ripening effect of ethylene is also used in agriculture to ripen tomatoes, among other things. To speed up the ripening of these fruits and vegetables you submerge them in a mixture of 96% Nitrogen and 4% Ethylene (mass ratio). You can buy the premixed gas but it is a lot cheaper if you buy a bottle of pure Nitrogen and bottle of Ethylene and mix the gas yourself. This can easily be done with Vögtlin mass flow controllers.

GEA introduces NiSoMate, a sensor-based technology for product control during the homogenization process. Liquids are continuously analyzed inline for their consistency and quality in real time. This enables direct adjustment of system performance, such as homogenization pressure, resulting in more efficient use of energy in the production process. By implementing this new sensor technology, traditional sampling methods are bypassed, significantly saving time. The patented GEA NiSoMate will be showcased for the first time at this year's Anuga FoodTec, which takes place from March 19 to 22, 2024, in Cologne, Germany.

In 2011, the increased public awareness of food pathogens contributed in large measure to the passage of the Food Safety & Modernization Act (FSMA), which put into place a far more rigorous set of regulations surrounding food safety than had ever existed. In recent years, equipment cleaning processes employed by the food and beverage industry have come under even more increased scrutiny. This is the result of the widespread publicity around pathogen outbreaks in commercially processed food, including E. coli found in Californian romaine lettuce in 2018, and the presence of Listeria in Blue Bell ice cream in 2015. A drive toward more efficient food production coupled with the increased awareness of food pathogens has led the food processing industry to shift its focus to the equipment cleaning processes—specifically cleaning equipment surfaces that come into direct contact with food.

If you are looking for new mixing tanks to help your company increase or improve its food-production capacity, chances are that you’re meeting with companies that design and manufacture mixing tanks and asking them more than a few questions. If a company is a good match for your business’s needs, they should be able to answer your questions well. But it’s also important for them to ask you questions about your needs, so it’s worth your while to prepare for these meetings by asking yourself the basic questions that will affect the specifications of your optimal mixing tank.

Water management is an increasingly important and challenging issue, particularly in light of concerns such as water scarcity. Greater value is thus being placed on disinfection processes. To protect against bacteria, viruses and other harmful organisms, drinking water requires disinfection and hygiene measures. This also applies to the environment in order that lakes and water-based activities can be enjoyed without hesitation. Disinfection processes play a large role in industrial processes as well. In the beverage industry, drinking water flows directly into the products, while surface waters are frequently used as a coolant in other segments such as energy generation. In this case the disinfection process ensures that no biofilms or bacterial lawns form in the coolant pipes or tanks, which can reduce the cooling capacity.

Emulsions are finely dispersed mixtures of normally immiscible liquids. They end up on consumers' tables as homogenized milk in the food sector, for example. They primarily consist of water, fat and protein. According to their nature, the fat droplets contained in raw milk are not very homogeneous. For process engineering reasons, it is therefore important to reduce their size in advance and achieve an even distribution. This is the only way that the end product can meet both the quality requirements of the manufacturer and consumer expectations. However, as there are increasingly demanding emulsions in other areas besides the familiar milk, such as baby food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics or fine chemicals as end products or even just intermediate products, which require the highest purity in particular, LEWA has developed the LEWA homogenizer test system. The system can be used to test the aseptic functioning of a homogenizer based on a hygienic hermetic process diaphragm pump. Thanks to a homogenizing valve that is also hygienic, it can be flexibly adjusted to the requirements of different emulsions. The compact system can be integrated into both the circuit ("stand-alone") and the process line, enabling it to be continuously operated aseptically. The fluid is supplied via an integrated heatable vessel or a separate media connection. Visitors to Anuga FoodTec can see the compact, flexible pilot plant and its possible applications at booth D085 in hall 4.1 and discuss potential customer benefits.
