Micronization in the food industry

Micronization in the Food Industry

Micronization is an essential process in the food industry that optimizes the properties of raw materials by precisely reducing particle size. At Heiss MSP, we specialize in micronization and fine grinding of solid materials, offering customized solutions for a wide range of applications in the food sector.

Micronization refers to the fine grinding of materials to a particle size of less than 100 μm. The selection of the appropriate processing technology depends on the specific characteristics of the raw material. With our expertise and state-of-the-art production facilities, we ensure precise and efficient micronization, allowing targeted control over the desired material properties.

Benefits in the Food Industry

Micronization offers a variety of advantages that are particularly valued in the food industry:

  • Improved Solubility: Finer particles dissolve more quickly and completely in liquids, which is especially important for beverage applications.
  • Optimized Texture and Sensory Properties: A finer structure enhances the mouthfeel of food and improves the overall taste experience.
  • Increased Bioavailability: Reducing particle size enhances the body’s ability to absorb and utilize nutrients.
  • Expanded Specific Surface Area: This leads to faster chemical reactions, which can be beneficial in food production.

Our Micronization Technologies

At Heiss MSP, we utilize cutting-edge milling technologies, such as jet mills, which enable ultra-fine micronization with a narrow particle size distribution. This high-precision technique ensures consistently high product quality and allows for the processing of sensitive raw materials.

Applications

Micronization processes are used in a wide range of food applications, including:

  • Plant-based fibers for improved water and fat binding
  • Food additives such as thickeners and preservatives
  • Sweeteners for the beverage and food industry
  • Spices and flavors to optimize the release of taste components
  • Vitamins and minerals, ensuring better absorption due to fine particles
  • Natural colorants for high opacity and brilliance
