Blanching Process – ADDAMS Thermal Treatment Solutions

Clean, Condition, and Prepare with Thermal Precision

At ADDAMS, the Blanching Process is engineered for precise thermal treatment of various agricultural materials, including grains, pulses, legumes, oilseeds, garden seeds, grass seeds, herbs, leaves, and nuts. Blanching involves briefly exposing the product to hot water or steam to loosen the skin, neutralize surface contaminants, inactivate enzymes, and prepare the material for peeling, drying, or further processing.
