SOL
users active in this field have to meet the needs of consumers
with products that are more and more characterised by naturalness
and safety, availability and wideness of range, convenience and
practicality. SOL studies tailor-made solutions
for its clients, assisting them in order to raise the qualitative
standard of their products.
In
order to obtain higher quality products than those that would
be produced using traditional methods, many kinds of food are
deep-frozen using liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide, others are
packed in modified atmosphere controlled with nitrogen, which
preserves their aesthetic and organoleptic features. Cuttings
and plants are treated in greenhouses with atmospheres rich in
carbon dioxide in order to accelerate and improve their growth,
while fish are subjected to intensive breeding by using oxygen.
Spices and coffee are ground at a very low temperature using liquid
nitrogen to preserve their aroma and quality.
