Storing Harvested Oilseeds and Fat Feedstocks
Post-harvest Storage Solutions Preserving the Quality of Edible Oil and Fat Feedstocks
Post-harvest Storage of Valuable Edible Oil and Fat Feedstocks
Oily seeds are prone to oxidation in ambient air and even at ambient temperatures. An inert atmosphere using nitrogen (N2) is an extremely effective way to prevent these products from reacting with oxygen during storage. As N2 does not interact directly with your product, it is an ideal replacement for harsh physical/chemical preservation methods. Inerting is a gentle, natural way to displace atmospheric air (and thus oxygen) and water vapor to preserve quality before the processing/extraction phase. In addition to inerting gases and gas mixtures, we deliver a range of gas application technologies to help you optimize your process flow.
Post-harvest Treatment of Valuable Edible Oil and Fat Feedstocks
We also offer eco-friendly pest control solutions to protect valuable oilseeds and raw materials after harvesting. VAPORMATE® is our eco-friendly, safe, non-residual fumigant. The active ingredient of VAPORMATE is ethyl formate, an agent that simply degrades to a naturally occurring substance. You can use it to protect your post-harvest produce, packaged and stored oilseeds and your processing equipment.
