WHAT OUR SOLUTIONS DO FOR YOU

 

1. IMPROVE PERFORMANCE

Coconut water

How AirTight™ separators help solve the coconut challenge

Global demand for coconut water continues to grow among consumers, but the challenge for producers of this nutritious but fragile beverage remains: how to protect it from the air that makes it rapidly deteriorate during processing.

Coconut oil and cream

Coconuts: The fluid of life

For hundreds of years, the coconut – fruit of the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera L.) – has been a great source of versatility. It provides food, drink, clothing and shelter, as well as income from its products. Due to its continuous production, the coconut is readily available all year round. Coconut is an important raw material for Asia Pacific. Today, 8 of the top 10 coconut producing countries are in Asia Pacific. Moreover, where coconut water and cream consumption are part of the entrenched in daily consumption habits for a large population in this region.

Tetra Pak has been instrumental in advancing the processing and packaging technology for coconut products. In recent years, coconut in its variety of forms has risen in popularity due to its natural health benefits of low cholesterol and low calories whilst also containing vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids.

2. FUTURE-PROOF PRODUCTION & TRENDS

Our design concept for separators, with its closed, hermetic system, eliminates the limitations of semi-open separators. The AirTight™ system means a process that is gentler on your coconut milk, coconut water and virgin coconut oil, and one that considerably reduces energy consumption.

Once the coconut is opened, its water begins to lose its nutrients as well as its flavour. It is due to the naturally occurring enzymes – peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase – found in coconut water, which when they come into contact with oxygen begin reactions that cause the nutritional and flavour losses. Tetra Pak has the technology to process and pack coconut water in aseptic packages to preserve the qualities of this natural beverage’s delicate aroma, taste and nutritional value.

Growing trends in coconut production

•  Focus on natural as an attractive alternative to dairy and other plant-based beverages due to its nutty, mild sweet taste, creamy mouthfeel, and white color

•  Willingness to try new varieties, tastes, flavours and combinations
•  On-the-go consumption in ambient single-serve portions
•  Growing use as home cooking ingredient in its many forms; flour, milk, oil and water
•  Use of nata de coco (jelly-like cubes produced by the fermentation of coconut water) in juices and other beverages

3. LINE SOLUTIONS & KEY ENABLERS 

Best-practice Line Solutions for Coconut Products

Fresh coconut water

Best-practice Line Solutions

Coconut products are highly susceptible to chemical and biochemical spoilage, like lipid oxidation. As such, it is important to understand your requirements on raw material, shelf life, processing, packaging solutions and distribution – all of which greatly impact the overall quality. We believe that your optimal solution is one that matches your specific production needs today and for the future – to make you more innovative, more effective and more competitive.
Coconut Milk & Coconut Water Line

Coconut Milk & Coconut Water Line

Tetra Pak lines maintain the natural flavour and nutrition of coconut milk & water. The key thing is to prevent oxygen coming into contact with enzymes in the product, as that causes discolouration. For example, this can be achieved by using a hermetic separator and a nitrogen barrier.
Process line virgin coconut oil

Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) Line

Virgin coconut oil is a sensitive product – oxygen contact renders the oil rancid while high temperature causes discolouration and flavour changes. Tetra Pak® separators with AirTight™ design ensures no additional oxygen contact to preserve antioxidants in the product. Moreover, AirTight™ separators can operate at lower temperature with the same efficiency, in order to achieve the highest product quality.

Line Solution Key Enabler: VTIS

Tetra therm aseptic VTIS direct UHT treatment unit

Tetra Therm® Aseptic VTIS direct UHT treatment unit

System for continuous direct UHT treatment of liquid food products under aseptic conditions


Tetra Therm® Aseptic VTIS has long represented state-of-the-art direct UHT processing of premium quality, aseptic products. It​ is an aseptic processing unit for continuous UHT treatment with direct steam injection. Mainly for heat-sensitive low-acid products such as milk, enriched milk, cream, soy milk, formulated dairy products, ice-cream mix, dairy desserts as well as ESL (extended shelf life) products. The process is also suitable for smooth products like soups, sauces, non-dairy cream and other starch-based products and can handle smaller particles.


Capacity: 2,000 l/h to 30 000 l/h (variable capacity 1:2 is standard)


Applications: Milk, enriched milk, cream, soymilk, formulated dairy products, ice-cream mix, extended shelf life (ESL) products, dairy desserts, non-dairy cream, and smooth soups and sauces.

Features

•  Steam is injected rapidly into the product, instant heating it from 80° to the UHT temperature, followed by condensation (only 0.1 seconds) and temperature equilibrium. The combination of a high sterilization temperature and a short heating time ensures that microorganisms and spores are deactivated with minimal impact on the product's taste and colour. The process also involves very low fouling, which in turn means outstanding clean-ability, less downtime for cleaning and overall lower cleaning costs
•  Flash cooling within the condenser equipped vacuum vessel minimizes product loses and allows for efficient operation and maintenance
•  Equipped with a floating protection system allows for thermal expansion, giving a longer lifetime and exceptional efficiency
•  Achieve longer running times with the automatic damper
