November 2011/Prepared Foods -- Food companies typically develop small-scale food samples or prototypes in a lab. However, when going to full-scale production, challenges exist, because the products will often not be the same. Therefore, lab equipment that mimics full-scale production can be very beneficial.
MicroThermics Inc. designs, develops and manufactures customized small-scale, continuous flow, thermal processing systems. Its equipment is used to simulate food production processes, such as pasteurization (HTST), sterilization or aseptic processing (UHT), and hot fill in the lab. One MicroThermics client, Eatem Foods Company, is an industry leader in food base manufacturing and a quality supplier of savory flavor systems, broths and concentrates, and seasoning bases. Eatem Foods Company shared its positive experience and the advantages of investing in a MicroThermics system, chosen after careful consideration.
