The science behind our peanuts
So you can be sure our products will always be at their best.
We only use materials with polymers and porosity that protects our peanuts and improves their shelf life.

Vacuum packaging is a form of modified atmosphere packaging used to removes atmospheric oxygen from the primary packaging products are enclosed in. Oxygen is the primary source of product degradation, so its removal dramatically extends our product life by avoiding oxidation and changes in FFA, PV and sensory profiles.

By altering the ratio of Co2 and N2 in our Modified Atmospheric Packing (70/30 for bulk packing, 50/50 for retail), where the Co2 inhibit the growth of mold and bacteria, and pest infestation, while N2 avoid oxygen penetration to preserve and maintain quality.

We keep the PUFA and MUFA content of our peanut oil stable by lowering oxidation with a food-grade nitrogen fill.

Our peanut butter aseptic packaging technology ensures a fresh taste and a stable product.

Placing them in plastic pouches impervious to air and CO2, flushing them with CO2 and then heat-sealing the pouches. Both roasted and blanched peanuts were protected from any significant deterioration of flavour and other quality factors for 12 months; roasted salted-in-the-shell peanuts were protected for 4 months.

By managing the pH level of our peanuts during blanching, our technique uses leftover heat from the blanching process to reduce internal vapour pressure and absorb atmospheric moisture, helping the kernels to harden quickly.

Whilst we pack solvent-extracted defatted flour with pure nitrogen, we use a CO2 mix for our powdered defatted meal to eliminate aflatoxin and extend the shelf life by three months.

By measuring the moisture and size of our kernels, we can assess just how fast their quality could degrade under condensation.

High relative humidity contributes to rapid condensation, so we work to tackle weather-related challenges as well.
When silica gel packages become overloaded they burst, leaking condensed water and damaging cargo by feeding aflatoxin growth.

Our loading techniques ensure containers are able to withstand water ingress, with proper lashing, stuffing, and handling during cargo transfer.

During shipping, peanuts go through vastly different conditions. Our process works to reduce the risks of condensation.

Rapid condensation can appear when a ship moves from a humid climate to a cold one. As a result, we make our packaging condensation-proof.
Our silica gel packages are made with specially designed porous ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) covers that don’t leak, even after bursting.

We provide an assured damage protection plan (DPP) to mitigate the risk of container defects.
