Dried fruits, vegetables, and herbs are gaining popularity in food manufacturing due to their convenience, long shelf life, and versatility. They naturally enhance product flavors while reducing waste and simplifying logistics.
This growth is driven by health-conscious consumer behavior, a demand for natural and organic products, and the fast-paced lifestyle that favors packaged, ready-to-eat items.
Additionally, the rise of the clean-label ingredients market boosts the appeal of dried ingredients, which meet modern consumer preferences for transparency and simplicity.
Beyond Convenience: The Importance of Quality
When it comes to dried ingredients, ensuring top-notch quality is crucial. Consumers expect ingredients that keep their natural flavors, colors, and essential nutrients intact from processing to storage.
This dedication to maintaining quality guarantees that food products maintain their taste, nutritional value, and appeal, meeting the high standards of today’s health-conscious consumers.
This is where ROHA stands out with its innovative approach to dried ingredients through ROHA OVegi.
Manufacturing Dried Ingredients Using Advanced Technologies
ROHA’s technologies uphold the vibrant colors and delicious taste of OVegi products, meeting the rigorous quality standards of the food industry. They employ a range of advanced techniques like freeze drying, air drying, and enhanced vacuum drying (EVD), each method precisely chosen to preserve the unique characteristics of dried ingredients.
- Freeze Drying
Freeze drying, or lyophilization, removes nearly all moisture from a product through sublimation, preserving its natural flavor, texture, and nutritional value.
This process maintains the original characteristics of the ingredients, ensuring the final product retains its taste. Additionally, freeze-drying reduces spoilage and contamination risks.
- Air Drying
Air drying reduces moisture content by contacting food ingredients with hot air.
This method is energy-efficient and cost-effective compared to our other techniques, requiring no complicated equipment or special training.
- Enhanced Vacuum Drying (EVD)
EVD is a technology that removes water at low temperatures and under vacuum.
The benefits of EVD include the retention of natural taste, texture, and aroma of ingredients, ensuring the final product maintains its original quality and suitability for various applications.
- Individual Quick Freezing (IQF)
IQF is a technology that allows the freezing of individual pieces of product separately from the others. This process ensures that the shape, color, smell, and texture of products are retained as they are.
IQF is particularly beneficial for maintaining the integrity and quality of products, making them ideal for a wide range of applications.
ROHA excels in guiding food manufacturers to choose the best technology based on their specific needs, whether it’s achieving vibrant colors, intense flavors, or optimal texture retention.
