Phenomena of matter transfer in food composed by different phases are unavoidable until reaching system balance. This is especially true in confectionery products where a soft filling, containing a liquid fraction of triglycerides or moisture, is in contact with a solid chocolate coating. During storage, the liquid begins to migrate through the solid layer, causing undesired changes in the appearance and structure of the product. In a recent survey, a group of international researchers (Svanberg et al.,2012), has developed a new method of measuring these changes, that is based on the use of a universal testing machine (Instron).

Beta-glucans and other nutraceuticals
Among the substances that recent research has defined as important for our health, there are some that are well-suited to be added to baked goods, thanks to their chemical-physical and organoleptic qualities.
Shaft batch mixer
地图meets all customer’s requests in the production of salad dressings, sauces and premix for pasta due to high performance and quality machines: WBH and WTS are born from a long experience in this field resulted out of cooperation with customers. WBH Horizontal Single Shaft Batch mixer consist of a mixing drum vessel with an inlet, an outlet with discharge valve and a venting spout, a mixing shaft, two drum closing end plates that carry flanged end bearing assemblies with integrated adjustable shaft sealing unit, and a drive unit complete with power transmission. WTS Twin Shaft Batch Mixer, with the added efficiency of counter rotation of the overlapping paddles, permits a homogeneous mix regardless of particle size and density of the ingredients. The design gives gentle low shear forces but allows a rapid mixing with low energy consumption. This mixers are used for dry bulk solids (powders, granules, and short fibers), dry bulk solids + liquids (moistening, granulating, and coating) as well as for liquids + low-viscosity pastes.
Ready meals based on pasta
The great experience in the sector of pasta machines gave rise toPavan Group’s innovative solutions that involve much of the process necessary for producing ready meals. In the forming part, i.e. the preparation of the fresh pasta before cooking, Pavan proposed a combined machine for making pasta sheets for lasagne, cannelloni and tagliatelle, putting together a well-tried and tested dosing and pre-kneading system with a real kneading tank and a sheeter renowned for its effectiveness.
Smart lobe pumps
Omachas developed itsSeries Cand introduces three new models: C110, C115 and C270, whose volumetric capacity if 0,17 l/rev, 0,21 l/rev and 0,38 l/rev respectively for maximum pressure from 5 to 13 bar with increased clearances rotors. C110 and C115 models are provided with DN40 connections, while the C270 model is provided with DN50 connections. Designed to attain the highest hygienic standard, the lobe pumps are as easily fully cleanable as to enable hot water consumption and reduce the use of chemical products for their cleaning.

The green soul of L’Italiana Aromi
Since 1890 L’Italiana Aromi has been specialising in the manufacture of a wide range of flavours, extracts and distillates for the food and pharmaceutical industry. It collaborates with numerous leading companies in the food sector, supplying them with flavours, natural flavours, extracts, infusions, distillates, essential oils and fruit-based compounds. In 2006, L’Italiana Aromi chooses to limit the environmental impact of her manufacturing processes thanks to a streamlined energy saving system. Not only that, the green soul of L’Italiana Aromi is much more than a marketing strategy. This is proved by the Lombard company’s last 10 years of activity. Green was the choice to acquire an old factory without knocking it down to then rebuild it, restoring it primarily by means of an indispensable decontamination from asbestos. Green was the choice to enhance the industrial archeology of the territory and to make the same building the energetic heart of L’Italiana Aromi, installing photovoltaic panels on the roof and cogeneration and geothermal plants in the inside. Green was the decision to keep the areas around the buildings green by planting new trees. Green is the conviction that complying with European standards in the field of environmental policies is important and necessary for a company of great experience which, thanks to its potential, aspires to becoming increasingly international. To meet the high energy requirement of its own production site and, at the same time, impart a concrete change, starting from the year 2006 the Lombard company decided to undertake an important re-conversion process towards a sustainable future. With almost six years of work and an investment of several million Euros, an organic and functional system has been accomplished which is able to bring the company up to European standards for energy saving and sustainable development. It is a radical re-thinking of the development model aiming at greater environmental sustainability and growing innovation, which catapults L’Italiana Aromi among those companies, not only Italian but also international, which are more responsible and attentive towards the environment. And the route taken by the company, to demonstrate its European and international outlook, represents the future of the whole industrial sector: this is confirmed by the GreenItaly study carried out by Unioncamere (an Italian public entity, representing and caring for the general interests of the Italian Chambers of Commerce), according to which 37.4% of green enterprises can boast an important presence on overseas markets, compared to 22.2% of companies that do not invest in the environment.
Photovoltaic
The system consists of 2,412 panels and is installed covering four of the five plants which make up the production site of L’Italiana Aromi. With a production capacity of 403,24 kWp, it will provide 437.392 kWh/year of electric energy. The combination of the dimensional features and performance of the modules with the adaptability of the fixing systems has allowed optimisation of the ratio between installed power and space available. The whole electric plant has been suitably assessed to obtain a coefficient of efficiency of the system which is significantly higher than the minimum required by law. This system, designed in such a way that any excess energy is fed back into the main electric network, allows significant coverage of the company’s electric energy requirements with a consequent and important cutting of energy costs. To summarise: saving of tons of oil equivalent to 96.22 TOE/year; avoided emission into the atmosphere of CO2equal to 294,802 kg/year; avoided emission into the atmosphere of NOx equal to 218.70 kg/year; avoided emission into the atmosphere of SO2equal to 437.39 kg/year.
