Process Expo Demo - 10

PROCESS EXPO University
this session will address the factors that impact the bioaccessibility and
bioavailability of health-promoting compounds in fruit-based beverages.
Processing technologies used to enhance those factors will also be
discussed.
Speakers: Indika Edirisinghe, PhD, Illinois Institute of Technology; Britt
Burton-Freeman, PhD, Illinois Institute of Technology; Amandeep Sandhu,
PhD, Illinois Institute of Technology

12:30pm
The Coming of Age of Industrial Automation in the
Food Processing World
Theater: 2
The presentation will start with a brief history of automation and its
evolution. The conversation will move into sensors and technology found
on the plant floor. Come discuss the Programmable Logic Controller
(PLC) and its functions in a modern control structure, as well as the use
of Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) to communicate status and alarm
conditions. In addition, we'll cover the high-level use of batching along
with track and trace software.
Speaker: Matthew Hartman, Blentech Corporation

What's Driving the Expansion of HPP in New Product
Categories
Theater: 1
High-pressure pasteurization (HPP) is cold pasteurization in pure water;
it uses ultra-high-pressure purified water to keep packaged food free of
pathogens to stay fresh longer. At very high pressures, bacteria such as
Listeria, E. coli, and Salmonella are inactivated. Foods using HPP include
ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook meats, ready-made meals, fruits and
vegetables, juices and smoothies, soups and sauces, wet salads and dips,
dairy products, and seafood and shellfish. HPP helps producers increase
food safety and extend shelf life while providing consumers with nutritious,
natural, flavorful food. Join colleagues to learn more about this important
alternative form of production and how to get started using it.
Speaker: Dr. Errol Raghubeer, Avure Technologies

Processor Spotlight: Leveraging R&D for Growth - How
Science, Research, and Data Can Drive Brand Growth
Theater: FSS

2:00pm
Challenges and Solutions of Commercial Validation
of UV Preservation to Address Shelf Life and Safety
Issues of Premium Cold-Pressed Juices and Beverages
Theater: 1
Come discuss the results of validation studies of innovative commercial UV
systems for preservation of cold-pressed juices and beverages. The tested
products included fresh fruit juice (apple and orange), leafy vegetable
juice, and coconut beverages. The impact of pH, juice composition, and
vitamin content on efficiency of UV inactivation of inoculated organisms
and natural juice microflora will be presented. The new approaches of UV
dose evaluation and verification using chemical actinometry and process
control instrumentation will be discussed.
Speaker: Tatiana Koutchma, AAFC

Technology Developments That Impact Your
Environmental Monitoring Program
Theater: 2
The key to developing a robust environmental monitoring (EM) program
is knowing your product and any micro-risks associated with it. The
objective of an EM program is to seek and eliminate harborage sites.
Don't be afraid to find pathogens; you should be looking for them! Make
a habit of trending positives over long periods of time, as it will help you
in discovering and solving the source of your sporadic finds. How does
new technology such as whole genome sequencing (WGS) impact food
processors? And how can you always be prepared for an FDA visit without
having to worry about their "swabathons"?
Speaker: Anthony Saitta, Commercial Food Sanitation

3:30pm
Making the Invisible Visible - Novel Solutions to
Ensure Soft Components Are No Longer the Weakest
Link in the Process
Theater: 1

Join Tulin Tuzel from Sabra, one of the leading food processors in the
prepared foods segment, who will share Sabra's use of R&D to gain a
competitive advantage and take hummus from niche status to one of the
more commonly used foods in the United States.

Physical contamination remains a significant challenge to the food
processing industry, with many contaminants, such as rubber and
polymer fragments, coming from within the processing system and the
manufacturing environment. This session aims to educate the audience
that novel materials are now available that facilitate detection and
removal or quarantine without compromising physical performance,
process efficiency, or industry compliance.

Speaker: Tulin Tuzel, Sabra

Speaker: Stephen F. Doherty, Garlock Sealing Technologies
