Many manufacturers of liquid products are turning to aseptic packaging for the advantages that it provides. Also referred to as aseptic filling, the technique ensures that products and containers are first and foremost sterile, and the environment in which the filling and sealing are carried out is also sterile. Product safety and quality are guaranteed, hence the process has become the choice for  producers of dairy, juices, semi-liquids, and pharmaceuticals. Recently  FoodPacific Manufacturing Journal  interviewed Shandong Bihai Packaging Materials Co., Ltd for a feature on aseptic technology. When asked about its strengths, the company well dominates in this field in China -- it has worked itself up to become a specialist in the area of aseptic carton filling machines and auxiliary equipment, as well as manufacturer of a unique paper-aluminum-PE liquid food aseptic laminated packaging paper.   Shandong Bihai's  brick, pillow, diamond, IPI, Shikoku and triangle packages    The co

In food and beverage processing, manufacturers rely on pumps and valves of all kinds and sizes to get raw materials and finished products moving efficiently throughout the entire manufacturing process.  The needs of a company that produces only one kind of beverage may be different from one that processes a variety of products like drinking water, dairy and juice.  But for all of these companies, their choice of hygienic pumps, valves, and hygienic equipment must comply with food safety standards, and must of course be efficient, and easy to maintain and sanitize. Equally important for customers in their choice of equipment is low total cost of ownership.  Having said that, it's important to find a partner in the hygienic materials and equipment segment that can walk you through the entire process - from design up to production, and provide a wide range of products as well. In fact, this has been the specialty of  Kinglai Hygienic Materials Co., Ltd , also known as Kinglai Group. 

Interest in health ingredients for all kinds of food and beverage products, has been growing, more so during COVID-19 times. The past several issues of FoodPacific Manufacturing Journal (FPMJ)   put more emphasis on the Health & Nutrition section because of this.     Continuing developments both in business and research of probiotics are a boon to the manufacture of functional food and beverage. Earlier this year, the Southeast Asia Probiotic Scientific & Regulatory Experts Network initiated by DuPont Nutrition and Biosciences, together with the Food and Nutrition Society of Indonesia, the Nutrition Society of Malaysia, and the Indonesian Food and Beverage Association, held their first workshop to pave the way for the harmonisation of probiotics standards in Southeast Asia. While it seems typical for every country in Southeast Asia to have its own regulations for probiotics – or not have any at all – this has prevented brands from seizing market opportunities. The Network’s i

While this year is different, the company continues to organise webinars to keep its audience in the know. It recently hosted one on probiotics and another on shrink sleeve packaging. Webinar: Probiotics – the Bull Market of Asia’s F&B Sector Ringier Events hosted its first virtual conference on the topic of probiotics on 2 June 2020. The three-hour webinar titled, Probiotics – the Bull Market of Asia’s F&B Sector, aimed to communicate the developments in this fast-growing health category, and to present food and beverage manufacturers with the different types of probiotic strains currently available to Asia’s F&B industry. The event had presentations from Chr. Hansen, Anlit, FrieslandCampina, and Azelis.   In general, consumers are familiar with probiotic strains that aid diges

In the food industry, vacuum packing is an important step in packaging that ensures the integrity of a product, extending its shelf life, and maintaining its overall quality while the package is unopened and within expiry date.  The objective is mainly to remove as much air from the package as possible since oxygen will eventually stimulate mold or bacterial growth.  During the process, air is eliminated from the pack (usually made of a plastic material), then the pack is machine-sealed so air or foreign matter cannot penetrate it. Vacuum sealing is used for grains, beans, cereal and other dry products, although some machines can do wet or powder products. For meat products, vacuum sealing slows the growth of microorganisms; frozen foods are less likely to freeze burn because airtight sealed packaging limits crystals formation. Depending on the type of products that need to be packed, there is a bag sealer, vacuum sealing, band sealing machine that can do the job, and within

Versatile food processing machines are definitely a good investment especially for small and medium-size companies. One that can perform several functions is a wise choice for manufacturers that handle different kinds of food products. The KUP-120 universal mixing and seasoning machine is one that falls under that multi-function category. Offered by Taiwan-based KINN SHANG HOO IRON WORKS, it has been designed to stir rice, noodles, and vegetables; to dry products like peanuts, sesame, and coffee beans; to season food with sauces and condiments; and to mix foods such as row-su (meat floss), and yu-su (fish floss). The machine runs on gas, and features a safety alarm to prevent burnout.

You can prepare for the future, based on the trends; you can even be ready for the unexpected, so business goes on. Still no matter how prepared you are, plans can easily be disrupted by circumstances beyond your control. Of course, I'm talking about COVID-19, which you can imagine is a slithering creature floating above city to city, claiming the weak. It is April, nearly four months since the virus made itself manifest outside China, and the world is still bravely putting up with it, however yet without a definite drug. We might be paralysed by our personal fears – what will the future be like? Will it be safe for us when travel restrictions and lockdowns are over? Or we can also stay hopeful, and be part of the solution for the problem on hand.  Every day we hear about companies and manufacturers who are not only supporting governments and the health care industry, but also producing and donating sanitisers, personal protective equipment, masks, and necessary machines.
