• Late Customisation• Forming multiple, unique products

from a single baseReduction in manufacturing

complexityReduction in costsBetter process understanding

New Technologies from ‘over the pond’

• Vacuum microwave drying at Nutri-loc and Enwave

Moisture level 2-3% Improved shelf life Retention of nutrients Weight reduction

New Technologies from ‘over the pond’ 2

• Fortification of nutrients at UC Davis• Using microencapsulating technology

Increased functionality of dairy products Direct delivery of vitamins and nutrients in

milk Increasing unsaturated fat levels

New Technologies from ‘over the pond’ 3• Raztek Electro Heating and Rapid Cooling

at Creative Research Management Electro Heating +100oC in 0.1 - 2 seconds Minimal heat damage Can be used for heat sensitive materials

• Rapid Cooling – Rates similar to flash cooling Low loss of water and VOCs
