The Velcorin(R) cold-fill technology offers an effective and energy-saving alternative for preservation of beverages. By reducing the need for energy-intensive thermal treatments and extending the shelf life of chilled chain beverages, Velcorin(R) allows manufacturers to protect their products' quality while reducing their environmental footprint and production costs and food waste.
"Leveraging our decades of experience, Velcorin(R) addresses important considerations with technologies that are easy to integrate into new and existing production lines. We offer a safe, high quality microbial control agent with no impact on the sensorial properties, which is Kosher and Halal certified and free of allergens. We look forward to working with beverage manufacturers to the benefit of both producers and consumers all around the globe.," says Dr. Matthias Huettl, Global Marketing Director for Velcorin at LANXESS.
Benefits of using Velcorin(R) include:
- High efficiency against common beverage spoilage organisms
- No influence on color or taste
- Breaks down into natural compounds
- Compatible with all types of packaging
- Perfect fit for carbonated as well as for non-carbonated products like juice drinks, ready-to-drink teas, and lemonades
- Compatible and best in combination with flash pasteurization for fresh and natural taste
- Quality made in Germany
Spectrum of Use
Velcorin(R) (Dimethyl Dicarbonate, DMDC, E242) is approved for anti-microbial protection in a wide range of beverages around the globe.
This includes carbonated as well as non-alcoholic beverages, such as still or carbonated fruit-based beverages, isotonic sports beverages and energy drinks, iced teas and flavored waters, and alcoholic beverages including wines, ciders, hard seltzers, and beer mixes.
An Energy Saving Solution for the Preservation of Drinks
Like many other industries worldwide, high energy costs are affecting the beverage industry. This boosts the trend for cost and energy-efficient production processes, while not compromising on product quality or taste. Velcorin(R) is a flexible preservation solution and a perfect fit for that need: it eliminates or optimizes thermal production processes, such as hot filling or tunnel pasteurization.
- Cold-fill technologies reduce energy costs, providing microbiological safety without compromising the sensory profiles of products.
- The extension of shelf life of chilled chain products lowers cost and reduces food waste.
- Velcorin increases packaging flexibility, especially towards lightweighting of PET bottles for a cost and energy-efficient choice.
- The technology easily integrates into new and existing production lines, increasing utilization rates while lowering capex requirements.
Velcorin(R) DT Motion Implementation
Velcorin(R) increases options for beverage manufacturers to fill more microbiological sensitive products on their filling lines. With minor modifications, Velcorin(R) dosing technology can be easily integrated into new and existing production lines. As manufacturers add Velcorin(R) to products just before filling, there are no limitations in terms of packaging materials; it is compatible with all of them.
