Extending shelf-life and preserving the juice quality

A Pioneering Application of PEF Technology

Since 2012, Hoogesteger has been a shining example of industrial innovation, using Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) technology—branded as Fresh Micro Pulse (FMP)—to extend the shelf life of fresh juices and expand market reach. The Dutch premium fruit juice supplier has taken on a pioneering role in integrating this cutting-edge technology into its production lines.

Efficiency and Flexibility in Production

As a continuously operable system, PEF technology provides flexibility in processing capacities and supports bottling into various packaging formats and materials, making it a versatile solution for modern juice production.
