Deaerators & Deodorisers

Deaerators & Deodorizers

Air and gases in food products

Liquids always contain a certain amount of air and gases.

More air is incorporated into the products during handling.

If not removed the air and gases will cause problems.

Deaerators & Deodorizers

Aim of deaeration

Eliminate dissolved and dispersed air and gases

Retention of aromatics and nutrient values
Removal of off-flavours and odours
Concentration of total solids
Increase shelf life and storage stability
Deaerators & Deodorizers

Air and gases in food occur in three states:

Dispersed
cause problems
Dissolved
Chemically bound
Deaerators & Deodorizers

Typical problems caused by air and gases

Inaccurate volumetric measurement

Reduced operation hours (fouling on heat exchanger surface)
Degradation of vitamins and loss of nutrient values
Reduced shelf stability
Visible problems e.g de-colouring, browning, large air bubbles
Deaerators & Deodorizers

Typical applications:

Dairy products
Beverages
Liquid processed foods
