Application: Cryogenic Grinding of Pumpkins for Use in Culinary, Health and Industrial Applications
Cryogenic grinding, also known as cryomilling, utilizes liquid nitrogen or other cryogens to cool materials to extremely low temperatures. This process induces brittleness in the materials, thereby enhancing grinding efficiency and minimizing thermal degradation and contamination. By exploiting the unique physical properties of materials at cryogenic temperatures, this technique finds applications across scientific research, industrial processes, and medical advancements. By leveraging Cryo-Blade™ technology, food processors and manufacturers can produce high-quality pumpkin powder, opening new possibilities for its use in culinary, health and industrial applications.
Pumpkins (cucurbita pepo) are a versatile and nutrient-rich source, widely used in culinary applications ranging from soups and pies to health supplements and functional foods. However, their tough, fibrous texture poses significant challenges in achieving a fine and uniform powder through traditional grinding methods. The Cryo-Blade technology is an innovative cryogenic grinding solution that leverages the power of liquid nitrogen to transform the toughest of pumpkin tissues into a high-quality, fine powder with unparalleled efficiency. This application note outlines the procedure and benefits of the Cryo-Blade for pumpkin grinding.
