Validated performance

Meets EU GMP pharmacopeia standards with a 6-log microbial kill.

Commercial output

Systems ranging from batch processing at 20 lbs per hour to fully automated systems processing up to 160 lbs per hour.

How Does CryoPasteurization® Work?

VIST's proprietary CryoPasteurization® process kills microbial contamination and mold through low-temperature sterilization in a controlled, low-oxygen, humidified environment.

The critical role of VIST

VIST connects processing, preservation, packaging, and shelf performance.

The platform protects product value at the points where safety, freshness, and package integrity can be lost.

  1. Raw product

    Raw product

    Incoming products carry microbial, oxygen, moisture, and shelf-life risks.

  2. VIST processing

    VIST processing

    CryoPasteurization® reduces targeted microbial contamination.

  3. VIST packaging

    VIST packaging

    AMAPS®, sensory systems, and barrier materials create a protected package environment.

  4. Market results

    Market results

    Longer shelf life, consistent quality, fewer losses, and a better consumer experience.
