Hephziban will continue its research efforts to meet consumers’ diverse
Production technology
1. Hephzibah F&B’s technology of low temperature thermal dehydration used for producing fruit chips is superior to freeze drying technology of competitors in terms of installation cost and investment.
Classification | low temperature drying |
---|---|
Production method | fruit dehydration by low temperature drying |
Advantages | – Dried products produced in natural way – Rich in nutrients, taste, shape, color and flavor |
Disadvantage | – shrinkage during dehydration (volume against the weight) |
2. Hephzibah F&B can establish production bases on a proper scale in each region and minimize production and logistics costs through low temperature thermal dehydration.
Diversify production bases in major fruit-producing regions (network)
– Reduced logistics costs
– Increased efficiency of operating production facilities by sharing facilities of each production base
– Increased efficiency of operating production facilities by sharing facilities of each production base
Focusing on one-fruit production process
– Increased logistics costs
– Possibility of excessive facilities at harvest peak time
– Possibility of excessive facilities at harvest peak time
3. Hephzibah F&B is manufacturing differentiated products by low temperature thermal dehydration that can obviate the disadvantages of hot-air drying.
Patent and certification
Hephzibah continues patent application and management in a systematical and professional way to achieve sustainable growth in fruit chip markets which are expected to become more competitive.
