What is food and beverage processing?

Those in the food and beverage industry have an obligation to serve safe, properly packaged, and fresh items to consumers. With fast-changing customer demands and strict health regulations, the importance of the handling processes for food and beverage plays a vital role. The term, ‘food processing’ refers to any operation (mechanical, physical or chemical) carried out on food in order to change its properties. It can be a single operation or a combination of different ones. Food processing is carried out in order to make food suitable to be consumed or stored. Some food processing methods play important roles in reducing food waste and improving food preservation, thus reducing the total environmental impact of agriculture and improving food security.

Three Stages of Food Processing

Food processing encompasses all the steps that food goes through from the time it is harvested to the time it arrives on consumer’s plate. Processed foods can be classified into three types:

Why Monitor Your Process?

Monitoring helps ensure quality and safety because it requires food to be handled in specific ways. Implementing monitoring processes should include those that can be tracked to identify potential issues and concerns over the safety and quality of food products. Monitoring the processes in your sanitary plant is critical to achieving the following objectives:

Your Challenge Is Our Passion

The food and beverage sector faces a range of challenges. The demands of big retailers are increasing. Concerns about food safety are always present. The need for faster and more flexible supply lines is intensifying. Product tracking and tracing are becoming increasingly important. Gaining control with measurements is right at the heart of food and beverage manufacturing. It is key to unlocking value, enhancing quality, leveraging flexibility, boosting profitability, and maintaining reliability.

Monitoring the process and environmental conditions enables sustainable food and beverage production by optimizing the use of the raw materials, eliminating product waste, and reducing the use of energy. To ensure uninterrupted production of high-quality product yield while maintaining safe working conditions, producers can rely on the measurement and monitoring devices that keep control of such critical processing parameters as:

• Relative humidity
• Carbon dioxide (co2)
• Temperature and dew point
