Food Production Facilities
The numbers of airborne
micro-organisms in the food production and packaging environment has
a significant effect on subsequent food quality, flavour, and shelf
life, and a parallel effect on production timetable, efficiency and
profitability.
The constant and
continuous review of methods and mechanisms to maintain product quality,
process hygiene, extend shelf life and improve microbiological quality
control is a demanding search for the food producer.
Available
data demonstrates the significant reduction in airborne spores, moulds
and bacteria levels in food production, packaging and storage areas
when using the AiroCide™. It offers significant
insurance against process contamination, ‘out-of-specification’
situations and product loss.
The improvement of
air quality in food production contributes to longer shelf life, and
increased profitability.
The product spoilage
and loss over a year that is attributed to microbiological contamination
is a constant and expensive variable in production timetable planning
and business turnover.
The producers
of fresh, organic and non-preservative/additive-containing foods acknowledge
the increased ‘freshness’, shelf life and viability of various
product types when produced and packed in an AiroCide™
managed environment.
Growing demands on
the food production industry to meet increasing quality, price and delivery
requirements from the regulators, auditors and supermarkets necessitate
the most efficient and economic control systems on their production
processes.
The inclusion of
such technology may contribute to improved QC, reduced product loss
and increased profitability.
