Mousses, like most desserts are very vulnerable. The combination of heat treatment of the product with re-infection free processing and packaging will help to prevent shelf life.
In the Mondomix concept, equipment can be manufactured in re-infection free execution to fit into an aseptic production process. The mousse processing line shown comprises Ultra High Temperature Treatment. This involves a process flow through a shell in tube heat exchanger, a homogenizer, a plate heat exchanger, a sterlisator and a scraped surface heat exchanger. Both the next stage holding tank and aerator are re-infection free. The whole system can be CIP executed.
