Extended shelf life for premium desserts

Israeli company Hefestus has launched Hefestus Gourmet ” a new packaging solution that enables dessert makers to pack a variety of delicate desserts and extend product shelf life significantly while maintaining its texture, appearance and mouthfeel without changes.

The complexity of packing multiple desserts leads to short shelf life of delicate products. Most dairy and mousse desserts have a fragile texture that can be easily damaged by other packaging technologies, such as vacuum packaging.

Because of the problems that arise with packing multiple desserts via standard packing machines, manufacturers can be forced to resort to manual labour instead, resulting in higher costs and increased time filling and packing. This increased time also creates food-safety and shelf-life risks by increasing product exposure to open air.

The packaging system can combine many work stations’ versatility, change easily from one product to another and allow adherence to recipes while maintaining attractive appearance and freshness. Oded Shtemer, president & CEO of Hefestus, notes, “Not only it will extend product shelf life, it also will increase the volume capabilities for this category, while saving time and costs.”
