Edible bird’s nest, a rare delicacy often referred to as the “caviar of the East,” is one of the eight nutritional treasures highly prized in Asian culture. Known for its exceptional value, bird’s nest is among the most expensive delicacies consumed by humans. Canned bird’s nest is prepared from dried bird’s nest through a meticulous process involving cleaning, picking, soaking, steaming, canning, high-temperature sterilization, and cooling.
In today’s market, bird’s nest is available in various packaging options, such as glass jars, aluminum cans, and aluminum bowls. These packages are perfectly suited for water spray retort processing. The Innovaster Water Spray process, an overpressure technique, stands out from the Saturated Steam process by allowing air to be introduced into the vessel during sterilization.
A preheat tank, an optional feature, can preheat the process water during the preparation phase, especially for hot filling products. Throughout the process, water is sprayed over the containers from different angles, while steam heats the process water either through a heat exchanger or by direct injection into the vessel. The Water Spray process offers excellent temperature distribution and efficient heat transfer, making it ideal for various packaging. Innovaster’s commitment to quality is reflected in their use of top-class components, ensuring high-quality retorts and superior service for customers worldwide. The HMI controls provide a user-friendly interface, enhancing the ease of retort operation.
