Raslysation Could Replace Pasteurization, Uses UV for Microbial Inactivation of Liquids
Biotech group Novozymes is making the change from classic filtration of its industrial enzyme liquids to a raslysation system from Danish company Lyras, which inactivates microbial contaminants in liquid foods using ultraviolet (UV) technology. Raslysation can be used as a substitute for the pasteurization of foods such as brine, whey, juice, iced tea, and many other liquids.
Novozymes’ new raslysation system will be able to treat 45,000 liters of industrial enzyme liquid per hour. Raslysation is a non-thermal treatment technology based on UV that inactivates microorganisms but is gentle on enzymes, proteins, amino acids, and vitamins. Raslysation provides higher quality, increased safety, improved production flow, less cleaning and waste, and better energy efficiency.
