What benefits can a steam generator bring to concentrated syrups?

Concentrated syrup has a wide range of uses in the food industry. It can add sweetness to food, improve taste and flavor, extend the shelf life of food, and provide energy for the human body. In beverages, it adds a refreshing sweetness and unique fruity aroma; in baked goods, it makes pastries taste richer and softer, and can also extend the shelf life. Concentrated syrup is indispensable in the food industry.

Steam generators play a key role in the production of concentrated syrup.

First, provide a stable and efficient heat source. Traditional heating methods, such as open flame heating, are difficult to accurately control the temperature, which can easily cause uneven heating of the syrup and deteriorate the quality. The steam generator generates steam by burning natural gas to heat water. While the thermal efficiency is as high as 101.21%, it can also accurately control the temperature through an intelligent control system. For example, when making maltose syrup, the temperature can be stabilized at 60-70°C during the saccharification stage, which can effectively catalyze the hydrolysis of starch in glutinous rice into maltose. If the temperature is too low, the enzyme activity is insufficient and the conversion efficiency is low; if the temperature is too high, the activity of the enzyme will be destroyed, affecting the saccharification effect.Secondly, it helps evaporation and concentration. Concentrating syrup requires the removal of a large amount of water. The high-temperature steam of up to 230°C generated by the steam generator is passed into the sandwich pot to exchange heat with the syrup to accelerate the evaporation of water. In the production of concentrated fruit syrup, the water in the fruit juice can be evaporated quickly to increase the concentration of the syrup. The suitable temperature range at this time is 110°C-120°C. Within this temperature range, the water will evaporate quickly, the viscosity of the syrup will increase, and a thick syrup will be formed. If the temperature is not enough, the syrup will be as thin as water; if the temperature is too high, the syrup will caramelize and become bitter. Precise temperature control can prevent the decomposition of sugars and the loss of flavor substances, and retain the original flavor of the syrup.Furthermore, sterilization and disinfection are achieved. Food production has extremely high requirements for hygiene, and the high-temperature and high-pressure steam generated by the steam generator is a sterilization weapon. Before the concentrated syrup production equipment and pipelines are used, high-temperature steam treatment can effectively kill bacteria, viruses and microbial spores, avoid contamination, and ensure product quality and safety.Steam generators provide comprehensive protection for concentrated syrup production from quality control to safety assurance, with stable and efficient heat source supply, precise and controllable evaporation and concentration capabilities, and reliable sterilization and disinfection effects. At a time when the food industry is increasingly demanding product quality and production efficiency, steam generators are undoubtedly an important boost to promoting the refinement and standardization of concentrated syrup production, providing a solid guarantee for meeting the market demand for high-quality concentrated syrup.
