BATCH AND TUNNEL PASTEURIZATION FOR CIDER/HARD CIDER PRODUCTION

ARTICLE EXCERPT:

“Cider, also known as "hard cider" in North America, is the product of apple juice's alcoholic fermentation. This fermented beverage has an alcohol content between 3.0–8.5% with a soft acidic, and sour taste (1).

In traditional farmhouse cider-making, the fermentation processes are performed by indigenous yeast, while in the commercial path, unfiltered fruit juice is inoculated with the yeast of different species; the most common are Saccharomyces, Kloeckera, or Pichia (1) which induces anaerobic fermentation converting sugar to ethanol (2).

Cider making is similar to winemaking; however, cider usually contains lower ethanol than wine (5-7% vs. 11-15%), and for this reason, is more prone to microbial spoilage (3). Refermentation in the package and consequent bottle explosion has been a concern for cider makers since years ago; besides, refermentation from certain types of bacteria such as Zygosaccharomyces is a cause of harm for consumers (4). To avoid this, hard cider pasteurization is used to preserve product safety and quality.”


This article is an in-depth explanation of the tunnel pasteurization and batch pasteurization for hard cider/ seltzer beverages, an essential read for all beverage makers.

Transcript from pro engineering/manufacturing TUNNEL PASTEURIZATION video PRO Engineering has been repairing, refurbishing, and re-designing tunnel pasteurizers for over 42 years! We have learned what works and what doesn’t in a tunnel pasteurizer over the past four decades. We use this knowledge to design and build tunnel pasteurizers that are low maintenance, high production, and easy to use. From the compact yet full-featured SlimLine pasteurizer. To the PRO/Line Series 4, that is often purchased by smaller craft brewers. Along with the very popular PROLine Series 5, that has a process area that is 5 feet wide and up to 60 feet long.  To the high capacity PROLine Series 14, that has a process area of 14 feet wide and up to 72 feet long. Check out the PRO website, click on products, and you will find the tunnel pasteurizer that fits your production capacity needs, your plant floor space, and your budget.

"THE HEALTH BENEFITS AND DRAWBACKS OF DRINKING BEER: SEPARATING FACT FROM FICTION" Article Release for Brewmasters and Beverage Makers, sponsored by PRO Engineering / Manufacturing Inc. Article Excerpt: Beer has been enjoyed by humans for centuries, but its impact on health has been a subject of ongoing debate. Understanding the true health effects of beer consumption is crucial for making informed decisions about our well-being.  In this article, we aim to separate fact from fiction by examining the scientific evidence surrounding the health benefits and drawbacks of drinking beer. The Health Benefits of Beer Moderate alcohol consumption and its potential benefits: Moderate beer consumption has been associated with several health benefits. Studies have shown that moderate alcohol intake, including beer, may reduce the risk of heart disease and certain types of strokes.  The key here is moderation, as excessive alcohol consumption can negate these potential benefits …” Click
