7. Pasteurisation Techniques
Conventional Pasteurization
• Pasteurization temp 950C/15 sec
• 25% of electricity*, 25% reduction
of carbon footprint*
Replacing By Cold Pasteurization
• HPP High pressure Processing
• ASEPTORAY UV Technique
8. The Challenge- Thermal Pasteurization
Microorganism in the Juice and Ice tea are normally
inactivated by pasteurization.
High Energy
Consumption
Minor effect on
Spores
(TAB)
Change
Preservation flavour, aroma , and natural taste
Protection of natural colour, nutrient value Antioxidants
9. TEMP PROFILE OF ICE TEA BEVERAGE
Process: 30~75℃→140℃(4S、10S、15S)→85~92℃→40℃→(10-20℃)return
Hot Fill pasteurisation process for industrialized still /Ice tea drinks 2012*
10. 117.7 billion gallons
Global annual consumption of industrialized still drinks 2012*
Most of it are pasteurized by heat, as it being done since 1864.

nectars, and still drinks 2012,p 119.
11. Thermal Pasteurization Alternatives
Ultra Filtration
• High energy consumption
• High cost
• Limited to clear liquids
Pulsed Electric Fields
• Requires an expensive aseptic filler.
• Does not work on spores.
• Still not widely available or accepted.
High Pressure Processing (HPP)
• Require highly cost equipment
• Require alignment of the entire process.
29. So, what’s new ?
Standards UV system can not penetrate turbid liquids*
Milk : >8000 NTU
Turbid orange juice: 4000 NTU
Clear Apple: 1200 NTU
Water turbidity: 1 NTU
* Ultraviolet Light in Food Technology Principles and
Applications, Koutchma et al. 2009
30. Mechanism of Action
Utilizes optimal wavelength (254nm)
in varying exposures to deactivate
contaminants and pathogens while
preserving nutrients and organoleptic
properties
Transfers UV energy directly and
selectively to microbial DNA
Limits secondary effects on liquids
34. The Market
$16 Billion market representing the 9.6
billion liter of juice is sold in the US
annually.
$ 8.8 Billion is 100%
fruit juice.
Per capita in the US this
numbers represent 52.5$
and 30.3 L per year.
35. Juice Pasteurization
Juices normally undergo two pasteurization processes
First pasteurization to become commercially sterile .
Second pasteurization, prior to filling to avoid
recontamination.
But ͙thermal treatments can not destroy spoilage spores.
36. Fruit Juice/ Ice tea Beverages RTS : Challenges and what is TAB?
TAB Is a general name for “Thermo Acidopihilic Bacteria”.
Although it is not a safety hazard, it’s presence in consumer products has
been widely reported to cause flavor spoilage problems.
33-35% of juice manufactures had TAB associated problems1,2,3.

All Bacteria were eliminated.
5 log reduction HACCAP requirement was achieved in all
liquids.
No organoleptic change in tested liquids (Milk, Apple juice).

43. Energy consumption
In Conjunction To Pasteurization
• Reducing the pasteurization temp
from 950C/15 sec to 730C/15 sec
• 25% of electricity*, 25% reduction
of carbon footprint*
Replacing Pasteurization
• 4 times less than pasteurization

46. Business Model
Two alternative business models:
Go-to-market Strategy
Pay Per Use
Partnership model
Pay Per
Use allowing system
leasing, and pay per
liter of product.
Capital +service model
Capital +
Service
Buying capital equipment,
and service agreement for
UV lamps and maintenance.
47. System Advantages
Capability to inactivate Thermophilic Acidophilic Bacteria (TAB)
Reduces production and energy costs
Prolongs shelf life
Retains natural ingredients and taste
48. IP
The company filed a patent in Israel #230375
• Patent application priority date 8.1.14
• Second application will be applied in coming months.
IP Protected at USA,EU, China etc.
Applied for PCT at 9.1.15,
49. • Organic Sugar Cane Sugar no pesticide and no fertilizers and
organic manure used for farming
• Brown sugar From Molasses sugar contains Minerals and rich in
flavors
• Honey Purest and filtered is basically combination of fructose
and Glucose and water
• Use of natural Sweetener stevia
• Use of fruit sugar, Apple syrup
•
Another very Important Increasing trend in Ice tea
