LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa.,
Jan. 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Air
Products (NYSE:APD) will highlight the power of liquid nitrogen for
a variety of applications both up and down the food production line
at Northwest Food & Beverage World 2017 in Portland, Oregon, from January 9-11.
Food manufacturers are invited to stop by the "Cold Zone" at
booth 432 to discover the many traditional and innovative ways Air
Products is helping customers use liquid nitrogen to help remove
heat from their processes and improve the quality, throughput and
shelf life of their food products. In addition to freezing and
chilling, for example, liquid nitrogen is used in mixing
applications 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.
