Seed treatment without chemicals (crop protection): As an alternative to chemical treatment, seeds can be treated thermally for increased pest resistance. A thermal treatment uses heat and moist air. The seeds used by farmers need to be protected from attacks from bacteria or fungal diseases that make cultivation less efficient in various ways. Poorer seed quality results in poorer harvests and infestation leads to poorer stock efficiency when infested feed must be disposed. Thermal crop protection: The ThermoSeed (or ThermoSem) […]

Seed and Kernel steam treatment: Sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, pine nuts, etc. Due to the potential presence of pathogens the process industry must utilize procedures to pasteurize raw seeds. The raw seeds are often heavily contaminated with yeasts, moulds, enterobacteraceae and spore formers. The Tema Process continuous steam pasteurisation process results in a reduction of the microbiological load. It is the preferred method in the organic industry. The steam condenses on the product surface and the […]
