VATIS UPDATE Article

Ederna, France, has announced that its evapEOs evaporating system has been selected for trials at Cornell University, the United States. This new process will likely save energy and improve food quality. An alternative to other energy-hungry and product-degrading evaporation systems, the evapEOs process allows juices, coffee, tea, and other food liquids to be safely and thoroughly concentrated while retaining exceptionally high levels of nutrients (antioxidants, vitamins) and quality (flavor, aroma, original color), while consuming very low amounts of energy. It can also be used upstream of drying processes (such as spray-drying or lyophilization) to significantly reduce energy costs and processing time.
