LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa.,
June 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- For over
half a century, liquid nitrogen has been used to freeze and chill
food products. Today, liquid nitrogen is finding new applications
in the food industry that can help processors improve product
quality, safety and operational efficiency up and down the
production line. To share the latest advances in liquid nitrogen
applications, Air Products (NYSE:APD) will offer a free webinar,
"Thinking Outside the Liquid Nitrogen Freezing Box," on
Tuesday, June 14, at 2 p.m. ET.
During the webinar, sponsored by Food Engineering and
Prepared Foods magazines, Air Products will share some of
the ways food manufacturers are using liquid nitrogen to remove
troublesome heat from their processes. For example, in mixing
applications, liquid nitrogen is used to instantly stop the cooking
process in order to chill sauces and gravies, ultimately reducing
cooling times. In coating applications, the low temperature of
liquid nitrogen provides greater control of the enrobing process.
And during grinding, liquid nitrogen can be used to eliminate
frictional heat to help improve the throughput of mills and the
consistency of the grind. This also helps to prevent the loss of
flavor and aroma components in food additives, ingredients, and
functional foods.
Webinar participants will also learn how using liquid nitrogen
can increase production throughput, reduce equipment size, and
shorten sanitation time. As a recognized leader in cryogenic
technology applications, Air Products has the experience and
technical know-how to help food manufacturers identify innovative
ways of using liquid nitrogen in their production processes to
improve both the quality of their products and the efficiency of
their operations.
