WE CREATE THE WORLD OF NATURAL TASTES

We are creating new generation technologies which enable us to deliver ingredients for the production of functional foods.

There is no area of production in the food industry to which the natural food ingredients created by our company could not be applied.

We manufacture products based on innovative technologies and natural materials.

We are a Polish company, operating on the market since 1991.

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES

An innovative technology referred to as MirvAc – designed and developed by PAULA – enables the drying of fruit, vegetables, cheese and other raw materials in a very short time and at low temperatures, thanks to which it is possible to maintain very high levels of nutrients in the finished products. After rehydration products regain natural texture, taste and aroma, characteristic for raw material.

MirvAc TEcHNOLOGY WiTH iNFUSiON*

MirvAc technology may be supplemented by the process of infusion, i.e. raw material saturation using various substances like sugar, fibre, vitamins and concentrates. This process allows us to obtain a product of varied form, crispness and texture, thanks to which it can be adjusted to the individual needs of our customers.

SPRAY DRYING TECHNOLOGY

INSTANT FLOUR PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGYInstant flours, which do not require cooking, are natural thickeners produced without any additives or carriers.

INSTANT RICE PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGYThanks to the correctly selected technological processes, instant rice very quickly rehydrates, thereby keeping the flavour of boiled rice and is not sticky. The adjustment of process parameters enables to customize the final product to the customer’s needs in terms of hardness and viscosity of instant rice.

TECHNOLOGIES UNDER DEVELOPMENT - MEMBRANE FILTRATION The latest technology for obtaining semi-finished products for next generation food production. This technology allows us to purify, separate and concentrate ingredients without thermal processing. Membrane filtration products can be made from cooking juices, juices, juice concentrates, pulps and other materials through various filtration methods:

Spray drying is a production technology which enables us to create products in the form of powder from juice, concentrate or other liquid materials. Solutions are sprayed using a disc atomizer, and the process of drying takes place through the rapid evaporation of water using the hot air. A spray dried product undergoes micro-encapsulation, which guarantees that the aroma is released only after adding water. HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY DRYING NOzzLES enable us to obtain a product of higher quality and better solubility in cold solutions.

We value nature, hence we use only superior quality materials for production. The fruit and vegetables that serve as the basis for our products are not genetically modified; we demand Non-GMO certificates or declarations from our suppliers.

PRODUCTS

The entire process of production is controlled using the implemented and certified Food Safety System (FSSC 22000), which covers every stage of production: from material verification at the suppliers to final product control.

What are the benefits of sustainable agriculture?

sustainable use of available natural resources

ensuring legal, social and ethical compliance

reducing the ecological footprint on the natural environment at all levels of the supply chain with the help of our suppliers and customers

supplying the highest quality products, manufactured from low pesticide crops, sustainably cultivated with a reduced use of water and production of waste, and limited toxicity

We prefer materials from sustainable agriculture plantations, grown with reasonable use of natural resources and with limited negative impact of agriculture on the natural environment. We ensure supervision of crops beginning from the stage of seed selection; we also use the help and support of agronomists.
