SENNA, AT - Delicious and sustainable innovations using Steam Infusion
SENNA, a renowned Austrian condiment manufacturer, has successfully implemented steam infusion cooking in their ketchup, sauces, and dressings production processes. This cutting-edge method has improved the quality, sustainability, and flavour of their existing products and allowed SENNA to develop new offerings, such as sour cream, to target untapped markets.
Challenge
Traditional steam jacket and heat exchanger cooking technologies posed several limitations, such as uneven heat distribution, extended cooking times, and potential degradation of product quality. These drawbacks led to increased energy consumption, waste generation, and overall reduced sustainability. SENNA sought to overcome these challenges with the use of innovative technology. Following an extensive search and testing of a number of cooking technologies, Senna chose Steam Infusion cooking.
Solution
SENNA adopted steam infusion technology, which utilises hot steam for a gentler and faster preparation process, preserving the natural aromas and quality of raw ingredients. This method led to more delicious and superior-quality condiments for consumers. Additionally, the new plant focused on environmentally friendly production and increased sustainability. The steam infusion line significantly conserved energy, minimised waste generation, and required fewer raw materials.
“The new steam infusion line saves energy, is eco-friendly thanks to reduced waste, reduces the amount of raw materials used and provides urgently needed capacities for SENNA condiment production.”
