How efficient is Catalytic Infrared for dehydrating fruits and vegetables for use as edible products, or as feedstock for nutraceuticals?
Catalytic infrared processing has proven to be compatible with a broad range of fruits, vegetables and herbs. Examples include the production of edible dried foods with excellent flavor, texture and color, the extraction of vitamins or minerals from herbs (such as rosemary), and the production of botanicals for food, cosmetic or medicinal purposes. Catalytic infrared energy has proven its value as an efficient and highly repeatable technology that delivers exceptional end product quality, with substantially less heat exposure, in a shorter process cycle, at lower cost, than conventional heating methods.
