Cleaner labels, smarter processes for the sauces market
The condiment sector is evolving quickly. Today’s consumers expect more from their ketchup, sauces, and dressings. They demand healthier recipes, natural ingredients, and products free from artificial additives or colorants. As a result, manufacturers are reformulating with less sugar and salt, and focusing on clean-label claims.
At the same time, they face a major challenge: ensuring microbiological safety without compromising the taste, texture, and appearance of their products.
Discover why Claranor Pulsed Light decontamination for sauces and ketchup is a solution.
Why Packaging Hygiene Matters
In ketchup and sauce production, the packaging step plays a key role in protecting product quality. When filling at ambient or hot temperatures, the industry often relies on high pasteurization temperatures to ensure both product and packaging hygiene.
However, over-pasteurization can negatively affect the organoleptic properties of the product—altering its taste, color, and nutritional value. Reducing pasteurization temperature is therefore a priority for many food producers, especially those aiming to deliver natural, fresh-like products.
This is where Claranor Pulsed Light solution makes the difference.
Pulsed Light: A clean, efficient sterilization solution
Claranor offers a non-thermal, chemical-free, and energy-efficient decontamination solution that targets a sensitive point in the chain: the packaging (cap, cup, lid or stick/film).
By integrating a Pulsed Light decontamination unit directly on the line, manufacturers can:
- Efficiently eliminate mold and yeast from the packaging surface
- Lower pasteurization temperatures without compromising hygiene
- Avoid product over-processing, preserving the sauce’s original flavor, color, and texture
- Reduce energy consumption, contributing to a more sustainable production process
- Maintain high-speed throughput with compact and easy-to-integrate equipment
Claranor’s solution is compatible with different packaging formats, and can be easily installed on both new and existing lines.
