Rice with Extended Shelf Life

COMPLEX FOR PHYTOSANITARY TREATMENT OF RICE USING IONIZING RADIATION

In an ever-changing world, having a reliable food stock is essential. The rice sterilized using our complexes offers an exceptionally long shelf life of up to 10 years.

Our equipment and techniques provide insect disinfestation and destruction of pathogens and mycotoxins, thus extending rice shelf life without compromising quality.

Our company offers complexes to produce the extended shelf life rice and you will be able to save and sell it in full scope. Having such complexes you will have a competitive advantage, differentiate your product and retain leading positions in the local and global rice markets.

BEAMCOMPLEX EQUIPMENT FOR RICE IRRADIATION

Our company specializes in the production of complexes with electron accelerators for food product processing with ionizing radiation (E-beam and X-Ray). These complexes have been designed for long-term storage warehouses (national food reserve funds).

Due to the fact that our equipment is seamlessly integrated into any technological process, it can also be installed at any operating facilities.
During installation, the complex's conveyor is connected with the customer's conveyor system. The complex is installed without plant shutdown.

IONIZING RADIATION TECHNOLOGY FOR RICE TREATMENT

Ionizing radiation (E-beam and X-Ray) generated by electron accelerators is used for phytosanitary treatment of food products.
E-beam/X-Ray penetrate the product and effectively eliminate or reduce the number of pathogens and parasites to required limits by inducing breaks in their DNA.

BENEFITS OF RICE IRRADIATION TECHNOLOGY

Reliable packaging: Usage of oxygen-tight packaging eliminates the risk of rice contamination after irradiation.

High processing speed.

Chemical independence: Sterilized rice does not require toxic chemical treatment.

Unique technology that guarantees shelf life extension of rice up to 10 years.

HOW IS RICE STERILIZED TO EXTEND ITS SHELF LIFE?

Rice is processed with ionizing radiation (E-beam/X-Ray) in addition to specific techniques.

An important factor in ensuring long shelf life is to process the packed rice as early as possible. The earlier the packaged product is sterilized, the earlier the insect pest reproduction process stops, thereby reducing the risk of insect waste contaminating the rice and thereby extending rice shelf life.

To extend rice shelf life:
- up to 5 years it should be sterilized in packages that prevent penetration of insect pests, provided that the humidity level in the warehouse is 13-14%.
- up to 8 years it should be sterilized in packages that prevent the entry of oxygen and water.
- up to 10 years rice should be packed, using inert gas, into the packages that prevent the entry of oxygen and water with further vacuuming and sterilizing.

BENEFITS OF RICE STERILIZATION USING COMPLEXES WITH ELECTRON ACCELERATORS

Pure and Safe

No residual radiation in sterilized rice, which is confirmed by FAO/IAEA.

Enhancing Profitability

Reducing rice losses and increasing sales.

Assured Compliance

100% guarantee that sterilized rice passes phytosanitary export control.

Extended Shelf Life

Perfect for supply to local and export markets when demand is increasing and rice prices are getting higher.

Without compromising the shelf life, the sterilized packed rice may be stored at food warehouses at humidity of 13-14 % max.

Nutritional Quality

The essential nutrients (amino acids, fats, vitamins) of rice remain intact after irradiation.

Sensory Excellence

Organoleptic properties of rice are preserved after irradiation.

DATA FOR ECONOMIC EFFECT CALCULATION

Salary costs:
• 2 electron accelerator’s operators
• 5 – 10 handlers
