Food Processing Biobased USA was originally formulated and developed as an organic, biobased, non-hazardous and 100% non-toxic heavy duty cleaner. One of the Company's prime goals was to produce a totally safe and environmentally friendly product for the needs of health related services and industries. Since it was first introduced, Biobased USA has found acceptance for use in food service distribution, HACCP facilities, restaurants, nursing homes, hospitals, hotels, motels, schools, colleges, cruise ships, and sports parks. Currently, the Company is working on specialized cleaners which classify as disinfectants, sanitizers and sterilants. Biobased USA is a fatty acid, and as such has antimicrobial, antifungicidal and anti bacterial qualities. The Company intends to shortly undertake testing that will qualify it as a control for Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Listeria, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus. Preliminary tests in this respect were positive. Applicability and Compliance Commercially grown fruits and vegetables generally contain harmful residues of pesticides, fungicides, fertilizers, food waxes and other organic soils. Many of the contaminant soils found on fruits and vegetables contain petroleum distillates such as paraffin or mineral oil, terpenes, and glycol ethers, as well as reagent soils such as sodium hydroxide or ammonia compounds. These contaminants are often applied through spraying of pest control chemicals, or can be residues from operating and/or cleaning of agricultural equipment. Biobased AG's line of cleaning products are USDA and MSF compliant and can be employed for the washing of fresh cut and processed fruits and vegetables. The properties of the soap/cleaner makes it very effective in all major food processing steps including multi-stage flumes, chill tanks, coolers, washing equipment and processing systems. Recent testing has shown that when orchard fruit such as apples. pears or peaches are cleaned with NG's Veggie-Clean the shelf-life is actually extended with reduced fruit loss. Biobased USA bodes to become a major factor in food processing internationally, as soon as it is certified in each country by the appropriate regulatory authorities. In the U.S., this is primarily the aegis of the NSF. In other countries, it will be dependent upon how their legislation is written. NSF Registration assures inspection officials and end users that the product and labeling meets appropriate food safety regulations. It provides product manufacturers, users, and regulatory/inspector groups with a proven method to determine product acceptability. This program compliments food processing equipment certification and NSF's food safety evaluations. Biobased USA is also compliant with, and shortly intends to qualify for approval under HACCP, which mandates that all meat and poultry establishments must identify and manage critical control points in food processing. Control points are defined as those where chemical, physical, and microbial contamination may occur. Once these points are identified, the processor must reduce contamination risk and maintain documentation describing the corrective actions taken. The third category, for which Biobased USA is compliant, is that of an A1 Cleaner. A1 Cleaners consist of compounds for use as general cleaning agents on all surfaces, or for use with steam or mechanical cleaning devices in all departments. Before using these compounds, food products and packaging materials must be removed from the room or carefully protected. After using these compounds, surfaces must be thoroughly rinsed with potable water. Biobased USA is also an ideal cleaner for many of the mechanical items in common usage in the food processing and restaurant industries. These include blades, blenders, cold storage, conveyors, dispensers, drains, equipment, exchangers, facilities, filters, fish, floors, freezers, fruits, grains, homogenizer, kettles, knives, lockers, meat, milk, mixers, nuts, ovens, poultry, processors, surfaces, strainers tanks, traps, utensils, vegetables, vessels, walls, and wash systems. Usage and Function The versatility of Biobased USA in food processing is very broad. It not only offers a one-stop solution to the myriad problems afflicting the various aspects of the industry, it does so in an manner that offers substantial savings both in terms of labor savings and product cost. An indication of the extent of this versatility can be gleaned from the following: |
