The Transition to Natural Foods: How Clean Label Requirements Are Changing the Face of Food Processing—and How PerMix Is Leading the Way
In today's food industry, consumers expect more than just taste and convenience—they expect transparency, purity, and simplicity. The "clean label" movement is driving a radical shift in how food is processed, stored, and preserved. Synthetic preservatives, chemical additives, and artificial therapies are rapidly losing popularity. In their place, natural methods are emerging that prioritize product integrity, safety, and health.
The Clean Label Movement: Challenge and Opportunity
Brands in every category—from sauces and beverages to nutraceuticals and spices—are being forced to reformulate their products without compromising shelf life, taste, and safety. Traditional preservation techniques, such as chemical additives or microwave sterilization, can extend shelf life, but they also raise concerns about health, nutrient degradation, and potential toxicity.
The result? Food producers are seeking smarter, cleaner, and more natural processing methods. This creates both a challenge and a tremendous opportunity for innovation. And this is where PerMix excels. ________________________________________
PerMix: Engineering the Natural Future in Food Processing
As the industry redefines how food is processed, PerMix is leading the way – developing advanced solutions that meet these demands without compromise.
1. Deaerators and Vacuum Mixers: Naturally Extending Shelf Life
One of the most common causes of food spoilage is oxidation, caused by the presence of air and unwanted gases introduced during mixing or processing. PerMix deaerators and vacuum mixers eliminate this problem by removing trapped air and gases during the production process. This not only slows oxidation but also:
• Naturally extends shelf life
• Retains color, flavor and nutritional value
• Eliminates the need for artificial preservatives
These technologies are particularly effective in producing clean-label sauces, dairy alternatives, plant-based products, and functional beverages, where appearance and taste are crucial to market success. 2. Steam Sterilization: A Safer, Natural Alternative to Microwave Oven
Spices and powdered ingredients are notorious for carrying microbial contamination. Traditionally, many processors have relied on microwave sterilization—an effective approach, but also associated with inconsistent results and nutrient degradation.
PerMix introduces a natural alternative: steam sterilization. This method gently yet effectively sterilizes spices and powders with pure steam, ensuring:
• Effective reduction of microorganisms without the use of chemicals
• Preservation of taste, color and nutrients
• No radiation, microwaves or aggressive methods
It's the perfect solution for spice processors, nutraceutical producers, and clean label brands that prioritize quality and purity.
