Zinetec’s Shaka™ process is a major and timely breakthrough
in food technology.
For the first time, in-container sterilisation can be completed in a
few minutes to allow the production of fresher, better tasting long shelf
life ambient foods. Food quality should be comparable with pasteurised
foods and with aseptic processed foods over a wide range of products.
Process and capital costs should be lower than for most other sterilisation
processes.
Other retorting processes are much slower and subject the food to a
long exposure to heat, producing discoloration and that over-cooked note
found in many canned and bottled foods.
Today’s consumers demand more. They are looking for fresher, more
nutritious and more natural tasting and looking foods, with better colour,
texture and mouth feel. Strong growth in premium categories indicates
that consumers seek enhanced quality.
