SHOWERING / DRENCHING

Showering and drenching are efficient methods for applying smoke flavor to food products. It is a process becoming increasingly popular due to the limited time the meat products need to be in contact with the smoke flavoring.

Large volumes of meat can be processed in a shorter time compared to the atomizing process, and it is the preferred application method if the meat manufacturer is processing few products with large volumes.

The SMOKESTREAM™ range offers high-quality smoke flavors suitable for showering, drenching, and dipping applications. Our team can guide customers in selecting the most suitable product for their specific process and application. We can also tailor-make products by adjusting color and flavor to meet specific requirements.

Flavourstream has worked with showering and drenching processes for many years and can provide guidance on important process parameters, including smoke flavor dilution rate, bath temperature, the amount added back per hour, acid level for optimal skin formation, and the subsequent drying and cooking steps.

Showering and drenching also provide the opportunity to recycle the smoke flavoring. Because the smoke flavor is applied before the cooking chamber, cleaning costs for the chamber can be kept to a minimum.

Our team can support customers with product selection, dilution guidance, process parameters, process optimization, and trial support.
