Dietary Supplement

1 . Evolution of Dietary Supplement Consumption

The dietary supplement market is experiencing significant growth driven by increasing consumer interest in health, well-being, and natural products. Formulations based on plants, vegetable powders, proteins, vitamins, minerals, or functional ingredients now require increasingly high standards of quality and microbiological safety.

In this context, manufacturers must guarantee safe products while preserving the nutritional and functional properties of the ingredients used.

2 . What are the microbiological risks?

The ingredients used in dietary supplements can be exposed to microbiological contamination during harvesting, drying, grinding, transport, storage, or various processing stages.

Plant powders, proteins, dried plants, or natural ingredients can contain bacteria, yeasts, molds, or environmental spores that may impact the microbiological compliance of finished products.

Ingredients also present specific challenges, as some microorganisms can survive for extended periods in low-humidity environments.

3 . What treatment is used?

Dietary supplements require a treatment capable of effectively reducing the microbial load of the ingredients. The technology developed by Steripure is based on a saturated steam pasteurization process under vacuum, allowing for homogeneous steam diffusion throughout the product.

Controlling time, temperature, and pressure ensures effective microbiological reduction while minimizing the impact on the active ingredients, nutritional properties, and organoleptic characteristics of the treated ingredients.
