OptiCept + FPS Upcoming tradeshows
OptiCept and FPS are hitting the road this summer with our partner! Join us as we showcase our PEF system for solid foods.
OptiCEPT® SD7 is a pulsed electric field (PEF) system that is applied to fruits, vegetables, and herbs, before the drying or dehydrating processes.
OptiCEPT® creates pores on the plant cells allowing the water to be released. This results in reduced drying time leading to enhanced flavor and vivid color on the final dried product.
With this technology, the drying process can be streamlined, better quality is achieved, as well as better color, aroma, and taste.
Food drying is the process of removing water from vegetables or fruits, which in its turn inhibits the growth of bacteria and enzymes and as such preserves it for a longer period.
Drying refers to the removal of free water from the vegetables or fruit whereas dehydration is the removal of all the water from the compound.
By applying PEF in the process, the process is significantly more efficient.
The drying of fruit and vegetables leads to several advantages:
During the previous months, Steinicke carried out a pilot project with OptiCEPT® for drying installed in its production line for drying carrots.
Great results achieved during this period now lead to further cooperation and the first commercial installation of OptiCEPT®.
Steinicke is a family-owned company with a focus on sustainability and provides the largest brands in the world with its products.
Steinicke is a leading manufacturer of air-dried herbs and vegetables. Their growth has come as a strategic partner to many international producers of famous brands.

“Another major breakthrough for OptiCept, which is now opening up the market for dried food for us in a good way. We have a close and good collaboration with Steinicke and look good potential to also develop the business in the long run and include other types of crops included in their product portfolio, ”says Johan Möllerström, CEO of OptiCept Technologies.
