Sairem, specialist in microwave and radio frequency industrial solutions based in Lyon, France, is set to showcase its sanitisation technologies at FIE, Food Ingredients Europe, which will take place from November 28th to 30th. The company will focus on innovative systems designed for the decontamination of various ingredients, including powders, peppercorns, flours, nuts, and more. Additionally, these systems can be used for the disinfestation of plant-based foods and ingredients such as cereals and pulses. Sairem has responded to client demands by developing highly efficient processes that enable the production of ingredients to meet high health and cleanliness standards. These ingredients are also fully compatible with the requirements of organic farming certification.

This showcase at FIE, highlights Sairem's commitment to providing advanced solutions for the food industry, promoting food safety, and ensuring the quality of ingredients used in various food products.

Sairem RF and MW systems for thermal treatments, offer a safe and eco-friendly solution for eliminating mould, yeast, and bacteria from ingredients.

Sairem's systems are particularly well-suited for the production of trendy superfood products and plant-based protein alternatives. Precious ingredients like nuts undergo gentle treatment, resulting in a final product of exceptional quality with a reduction of 4-5 Log in microbial load. The highly efficient RF and MW process takes only a few minutes, ensuring that each ingredient quickly reaches the required temperature uniformly. Since the processing time is so brief, there is no compromise on the physical, chemical, and organoleptic properties of the product – all its characteristics are perfectly preserved.

Additionally, successful applications include the treatment of peppercorns (with a 3.4 Log reduction) and maize starch powder (achieving an impressive 6.87 Log reduction).
