Technology solutions provider JBT will use the International Fruit & Vegetable Juice Association’s (IFU) Latin American tour to draw attention to the ways in which juice companies can become more sustainable.
JBT will highlight a number of products and innovations developed by the company that can help juice processors to become more sustainable and recover by-products and ingredients that would otherwise be lost.
The main focus would be on citrus juice processing, JBT said. Talks will be held at the tour,
headed by representatives from each of the five host countries, and will feature product developments and information connected to sustainability.
Januário Soligon, JBT’s regional sales and marketing manager for South America, explained: “We will be talking about sustainability and the ways in which equipment that JBT has developed can add value for fruit juice processors.
“For example, we have a system called ReadyGo D-Limonene, which recovers D-limonene – an extract from citrus peel – from wastewater after it has been used for processing.”
D-Limonene, which has a range of uses, can deliver additional potential earnings for citrus companies that would otherwise struggle, Soligon added.
