Health / Nutraceuticals

Why has Steripure become the leading specialist in pasteurizing ingredients for the healthcare and nutraceutical sectors?

Pasteurization: A major concern for all stakeholders

Pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, molds, or yeasts can pose risks on several levels:

  • A risk to users’ health: Contamination by pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli, or Listeria can lead to gastrointestinal illnesses, diarrhea, vomiting, fever, abdominal pain, and even more serious complications. Symptoms can vary, ranging from mild gastric irritation to severe, even fatal, infections.
  • A risk to stock: Microorganisms can multiply rapidly under favorable conditions, such as high humidity and ambient temperature. This can lead to alterations in the product’s texture, color, or odor, or even to the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria.
  • A commercial risk: a loss of consumer confidence and reputational damage for the company marketing the product.

Steripure Category B: guaranteeing the strictest industry requirements.

The health and nutraceutical sector imposes particularly stringent microbiological thresholds. This is why Steripure applies the most demanding specifications on the market for processing low-moisture raw materials such as plants, clays, peppers, berries, flowers, dietary supplements, etc.

This processing must be carried out while respecting the key properties of the products:

  • The intrinsic and organoleptic qualities of the natural ingredients.
  • The various certifications on the market, such as FSSC 22000, Ecocert, COSMOS Organic, Kosher, Halal, RFA, and FFL.

Pasteurization of low-moisture ingredients is therefore an important step in guaranteeing the safety and quality of nutraceutical products. It becomes an essential step in the manufacturing process of safe, high-quality nutraceutical products. But beware of the different pasteurization processes! They don’t all have the same qualities, and they don’t all meet the same regulatory and industrial requirements.

Steripure, your leading partner for the most effective pasteurization, meeting all the requirements of your specifications.

Sharing the same objectives and requirements as all stakeholders involved in nutraceutical product manufacturing (Safety and Quality), Steripure has innovated in the pasteurization process for low-moisture products used in various nutraceutical recipes.

To prevent any contamination, Steripure offers a cutting-edge pasteurization technology based on three dimensions (temperature, time, and pressure), which allows products to be treated without altering their intrinsic qualities and while also preserving your certifications.

Having become the European leader in pasteurizing low-moisture products, Steripure supports all its clients in achieving their objectives by sharing the same priorities: consumer safety and health. Nearly 17 validation processes have been developed with various stakeholders over the past 10 years.
