PROCESSING

OURS

methods

In addition to selling in natura, DS FARMS sells processed pitaya pulp. We currently have processing available under the following conditions:

Frozen pulp: Process of pulping the fruit in natura and subsequent freezing into cubes or pieces.

Pasteurized pulp (drum and commercial packaging): Thermal treatment process that produces heating with temperatures below 100 oC, which modifies the sensorial and chemical characteristics of the products in a more attenuated way, destroying and/or reducing the contaminating microflora present to safe levels. After the heating process, the result is frozen, forming a frozen paste. Pasteurization is used because of the lower degradation of nutrients, pigments and flavor.

Lyophilization: The freeze-drying process consists of a drying technology that has its process based on the removal of water through the sublimation of the water present in the food, without the need to use high temperatures. The water changes from its solid to a gaseous state at very low temperatures and without the presence of oxygen, factors that result in the preservation of the nutritional characteristics of the food, generating a product with high nutritional and sensorial value. Lyophilization preserves the nutritional properties, as the cell membranes do not break with the loss of water vapour. The result is a product at room temperature, with all nutritional characteristics preserved in the form of chips or powder.

Associated with industrialization, we can develop packaging according to the needs of each client.
