Porifera’s membrane concentration systems offer broad applicability to all types of coffee, whether brewed hot or cold, creating many opportunities, such as:
- Premium coffee concentrate for RTD bottling applications
- Full flavor and easily transportable concentrates for commercial air service.
- Specialized concentrates for single-use cup dispensers
- Increased availability of cold brew in markets with limited refrigeration
- High quality instant coffee with significant energy savings
Crucial flavor and aroma profiles that make coffee products unique are quickly lost during high-heat processing. Porifera’s proprietary membrane technology requires no heat to remove water and achieve concentrations surpassing 60 total solids.
Customer-verified sensory panels confirm that the coffee made with Porifera-processed concentrate is indistinguishable from the original products.
Porifera’s innovative approach helps customers process products to high concentrations, reducing volume of stored and shipped products more than 10x, without product degradation. Reduced water activity in concentrates improves shelf stability for many products. Shelf-stable concentrates can be shipped further and stored longer in more variable conditions.
For instant coffee, Porifera’s high-solids concentrates enable customers to use their freeze and spray dryers more efficiently and produce more high-quality product with existing equipment.
For instant coffee and tea, Porifera’s high-solids concentrates enable customers to use their freeze and spray dryers more efficiently and produce more product with existing equipment.
Reduced water activity in concentrates improves shelf stability for many products. With the right packaging, Porifera’s processing technology can extends the shelf life of many products, reducing or eliminating the need for refrigeration.
With Porifera’s process and skid-mounted system customers can reach concentrations of 50 Brix with a membrane draw recovery that does not require boilers or any other equipment with high installation requirements.
