NATURAL COLORS
Flavorchem says color is critical to the way consumers experience food and is often associated with taste and quality.

Flavorchem offers a variety of naturally derived colors that allow dairy processors to color and customize products ranging from ice cream and gelato to yogurt and sour cream. Its vast array of colors and shades — from fruits, vegetables, plants and other natural sources —provides a diverse palette for any application.

STEAM, PRESSURE CONTROLLER
The Komax desuperheater is used to precisely control the temperature and pressure of steam in a variety of industries, including power generation, food processing, pulp, paper and textiles. In addition to keeping steam at the exact temperature needed for production, the use of desuperheaters can provide serious cost reductions in relation to legacy methods of steam management. The Komax desuperheater uses different technology than conventional desuperheaters do. With no moving parts, the patented equalizer mixing module has six stable-mixing elements built into it and three stages of mixing. Komax says its desuperheater will exceed your expectations by increasing efficiency and effectiveness.

COMPOSTABLE, RECYCLABLE PLASTIC PACKAGING
Twelve8 Technology says it released the PaktoEarth Raws-Tech plastic packaging solution for plastic to be plastic no more. Around the world, a high percentage of plastic ends up in landfills or as “fugitive” plastic. PaktoEarth helps by allowing the plastic to break down into air, water and less than 1% biomass within two years — leaving no micro-plastic fragments behind. Plastic made with Raws-Tech contains a technologically advanced pro-degradant additive featuring a patented formula that is time-controlled to customize a product’s service life. The unique formula can be used on flexible plastic (bread bags), rigid plastic (milk containers, detergent bottles), frozen food plastic takeaway packaging and more.
