Dr. Steffi Schorcht – Controling & Marketing Director RPE introduced RPE company

Dr. Peter John – Director of RPE presented the infrared drying technology of the company

Conference results:

Through the presentations of the speakers, it was confirmed that infrared application on  medicinal, food and agricultural products has many advantages such as:

– The pharmaceutical products obtained from the process of infrared radiation dryed without loss of quality, taste, quality of the preserved vitamins, and the products are guaranteed in terms of hygiene.

– The effect of infrared rays when drying on agricultural products, food (especially nuts) will create products with high nutritional value, more aromatic flavor, starch in the seeds will be completely neutralized. For more, there is no phenomenon of powder re-ing, and thus the ability to digest food will be better.

– Infrared application when it comes to pharmaceuticals, agricultural products, food also increases the amount of free amino acids, while inhibiting some disadvantage enzymes or will reduce the activity of enzymes that oxide fat and by limiting the oxidation of fat when stored, the grain will not be rancid and bitter.

-Infrared rays also has a very good bactericidal effect without losing the nutritional value of pharmaceuticals, agricultural products and food even at low temperatures.

-In addition, infrared rays have a very good effect on pets when processing animal feed products. Animal feed processed by infrared heating has the effect of increasing digestibility up to 80 ÷ 90%, increasing appetite, increasing the rate of rapid weight gain, eating less but gaining weight, resulting in higher feed conversion rates.
