Continuous Processing Of Hot Fill Gravy (Without Particulates)

Process Description

After starch and seasonings are dissolved in warm water in a high shear mixer, the slurry is transferred to a holding balance tank. It is then fed to a blending tank where water and other ingredients are added. The product is then pumped to a steam injector where it is heated to the final cooking temperature. After the product is heated, it is held in the holding/ hydration tube for a timed period, allowing the starch to gelatinize. After holding, the product is sent to filling and retorting.
