Laitram’s patented CoolSteam® nut pasteurization technology is an all-natural, continuous-flow process with verified settings to achieve a 5log+ reduction of salmonella with excellent product quality and low capital and operating costs.
CoolSteam® Nut Pasteurizers are configurable to meet customer-specific needs. The modular design accommodates many capacity requirements.
Certain organisms, such as salmonella, can survive on the surface of a nut for an extended period of time in a dormant state and in fact, recent studies indicate the low moisture conditions actually strengthen the heat resistance and persistence of these organisms. Hence, the application of surface pasteurization treatments for tree nuts is becoming more commonplace. Read more..
