SMOOTHIE+

First of all, these are fruit smoothies, juice, purees or paste, processed at the “molecular level” and packaged for storage at room temperature. These products are comparable in quality to products obtained after cold pressing or blending.

Our product is not afraid of rapid deterioration, does not need cooling or freezing. The product is convenient to transport and easy to eat or use as an ingredient. Indicators of nutrients sometimes exceed those even in fresh fruits, which is due to the peculiarities of additional release of useful elements during processing. If we talk, for example, about the berries of the Vaccinium species, then our smoothie receives additional nutrients crushed to the molecular level, among which there are polyphenols, polyunsaturated fatty acids and carotenoids.

Our smoothie or juice retains the maximum taste, aroma and nutritional value of fresh products. It has not been subjected to high-temperature processing and we do not use artificial substances to improve taste or nutritional value. It also does not need to be stored or transported at a low temperature as is the case with chilled and frozen food.

We briefly call our technology “turbo flow”, when several specially designed pieces of equipment form a production line for the “molecular” processing of plant substances in the stream. The use of “flow” technology allows to optimize the production process, reduce the amount of equipment, creates prerequisites for environmental friendliness, energy efficiency, waste-free on the entire chain from farm to fork. Our technology also has a significant impact on the fruit product itself, exposing it to simultaneous homogenization and minimal pasteurization, contributing to the preservation and release of nutrients, creating further opportunities for mixing food ingredients.

We are confident that we will be able to convince our consumers to partially replace fresh plant products in their diet with our new “hybrids” – processed fruits, but no less healthy and tasty than fresh ones. In this way, we will be able to reduce energy costs to maintain the cold chain all the way from the harvest site to the consumer’s table (refrigerated containers and trucks, refrigerators in storage warehouses, cooled display cases in supermarkets, etc.). Also, in case of processing at place, the problem of transporting excess weight in the form of peel or seeds also disappears (the pulp of certain fruits weighs less than the total weight of the fruit by about 10-40 percent).

In addition, we are convinced that consumers of processed fruits will choose our products among other similar ones. We have already indicated the advantages earlier, and as for planet preservation, it is worth noting the reduction of energy consumption and the reduction of carbon emissions due to the absence of low-temperature or high-temperature processing, reduced electricity consumption, because a production line with a minimum number of modules is used, etc.

We plan to establish close contacts with farmers and wholesale suppliers of plant products for processing, this will enable farmers to receive guaranteed sales at attractive prices in the future, which will contribute to the growth of well-being in the community. The products themselves will benefit society in a broad sense, it will enable new customers to apply useful ingredients in their products and dishes, and possibly push to develop their own business.
