NAFI (Namah Agro Food Industries) continuous steam sterilizing system for effective decontamination of spices, herbs, vegetables and seeds.
The continuous steam sterilizing process results in simultaneous reduction of the microbiological load and the ample inactivation of enzymes in spices, vegetables, herbs and seeds. These raw materials are heavily contaminated with yeasts, moulds, enterobacteraceae and spore-formers from the soil because of the simple treatments and the drying at low temperatures in the countries of origin.
Sometimes ideal conditions for growth in foodstuffs can easily lead to spoilage. The presence of pathogens, e.g. salmonella can never be excluded despite frequent checking and was the main reason for sterilization and irradiation in the past.
The continuous steam sterilizing process offers the following advantages:
Fastest possible way of product heating to an exact preset temperature.
Steam condenses on the product and provides the water activity required for effective sterilization while the steam that condensed on the product surface will protect the product against burning. Hence the system concept complies with the condition that the product is subjected to the minimum heat load for adequate decontamination with a minimum adverse effect on flavor, color and loss of volatile oil.
NAFI (Namah Agro Food Industries)
A Natural Solution Design to Kill Micro Organism White Keeping Producct Quality.
Aromatic products, especially herbs and botanical are very sensitive to heat and to the moisture. That’s why NAFI has been optimized to minimize the impact of sterilization on :
Flavor and Taste: less than 5-8% of the oil content is lost during the process,
Color: no drastic change of color .
Moisture: with our exclusive dry steam device, there is no increase of moisture.
Versatile as no other, NAFI is adapted to many kinds and shapes of products.
All shapes can be treated: whole, pieces, leaves, chopped, crushed, powdered…
Natural Steam Sterilization
Whether dry fruits, nuts, seeds, herbs or spices: decide on the natural Steam-Sterilization system. Different shapes can be treated: whole, pieces, leaves, chopped, crushed, powdered. Our Batch-Process ensures an effective, total destruction of dangerous microorganisms. There are no residues, scorching and breakup of the product and quality and look remain constant. Lastly – and most importantly – our Sterilization Process is 100% natural – chemical and radiation free.
Stability Consistence : Color / Moisture / Oil
Our Steam Sterilization System maintains the quality of the products. Flavor and Taste, Color and Moisture: there are minimal or no changes. Volatile Oil content is the most difficult to preserve during Sterilization treatment. Our experience allows us to maximize the efficiency of oil preservation.
Steam - Advantages
The only two parameters to control are time and temperature.Highly reliable and many other health care facilities have steam sterilizers.
Widespread capability:All hospitals and many other health care facilities have steam sterilizers.
Excellent process for reusable medical devices that are not adversely affected by temperatures >121.C(up to 135.C).
Excellent that are not heat sensitive.process for liquids
