•Brochure: Shaka™
The Shaka™ process is a major and timely breakthrough in food technology. For the first time, in-container sterilization can be completed in a few minutes to allow the production of fresher, better tasting long shelf life ambient foods. Food quality is comparable with pasteurized foods and with aseptic processed foods over a wide range of products.
Process and capital costs are lower than for most other sterilization 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 color, texture and mouth feel. Strong growth in premium categories indicates that consumers seek enhanced quality.
The Shaka™ Process
The Shaka™ process is a major and timely breakthrough in food technology. For the first time, in-container sterilization can be completed in a few minutes to allow the production of fresher, better tasting long shelf life ambient foods. Food quality is comparable with pasteurized foods and with aseptic processed foods over a wide range of products.
The process sterilizes food up to twenty times faster than conventional static retorting processes, with commensurate improvement in food quality.
For most retail cans and pouches of soups, sauces and similar food products, only about three minutes are needed for sterilization and about ten minutes for overall cycle times allowing about six batches per hour! Products containing particulates may take slightly longer. The Shaka process is not suitable for solid pack products such as ham or tuna, or for products requiring extended cooking.
