Peanut Butter Production Process And Machinery - All Here

1. Why is peanut butter so popular?

Peanut butter is deeply loved by consumers for its unique taste, rich aroma and rich nutritional value. It is not only rich in protein, healthy fats and multiple vitamins, but also adds convenience and diversity to daily diet. Whether it is used as a spread for sandwiches, a condiment for cooking or eaten directly, peanut butter can provide deliciousness and satisfaction, making it one of the indispensable foods in the family and catering industry. In addition, the versatility and easy storage of peanut butter also make it an ideal choice for busy modern life.

2. The main ingredients of peanut butter

Peanut powder: As the main ingredient of peanut butter, it provides most of the taste and flavor.

Vegetable oil: Such as peanut oil, soybean oil, etc., used to adjust the texture and consistency of peanut butter.

Salt: Add flavor and enhance the overall taste of peanut butter.

Sugar: Some peanut butters add sugar to balance the saltiness and increase the sweetness.

Emulsifier: Such as xanthan gum or carrageenan, which helps maintain the uniform texture of peanut butter and prevent oil and water separation.

Antioxidants: such as vitamin E, used to extend the shelf life of peanut butter and maintain freshness.

3. Peanut butter production process

1. Raw material preparation

Peanut powder: Choose high-quality peanut powder, which is the basis for making peanut butter.

Accessories: Prepare appropriate amounts of vegetable oil, salt, sugar and other seasonings according to the desired peanut butter flavor.

2. Pretreatment

Baking: Proper baking of peanut powder can further enhance the aroma of peanuts. Usually, peanut powder is baked at 100°C, and it takes about 20 minutes to stimulate the aroma of peanuts while maintaining the quality and nutritional value of peanut powder. Of course, it depends on your product process, but it should be noted that the baking process should be properly observed to prevent over-baking, because over-baking may cause peanut powder to burn, affecting flavor and taste.

Cooling: The baked peanut powder needs to be cooled to room temperature for subsequent mixing.

3. Mixing

Preliminary mixing: Preliminary mixing of peanut powder and auxiliary materials (such as sugar and salt) at a low speed to ensure uniform distribution.

Fat addition: Gradually add vegetable oil while stirring to avoid separation of fat and powder.

High-speed stirring: Gradually increase the stirring speed to fully mix the peanut powder and fat to form a uniform paste.

4. Homogenization

Refinement: Use high-speed stirring with IMMAY's high-shear homogenizer at the bottom of the stainless steel mixing tank to further refine the peanut butter mixture to achieve the desired taste and texture.

Temperature control: During the homogenization process, control the temperature of the mixture to avoid excessive temperature that causes fat separation.

5. Seasoning

Flavor adjustment: Add additional flavorings such as vanilla extract, honey or other natural flavors as needed to enhance the flavor of the peanut butter.

6. Final mixing

Uniform mixing: Make sure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed and evenly without separation or lumps.

Quality inspection: Check the texture and flavor of the peanut butter regularly during the mixing process to ensure that it meets the standards.

7. Packaging

Filling: Fill the mixed peanut butter into stainless steel sealed storage tanks.

Sealing: Make sure the container is well sealed to maintain the freshness and flavor of the peanut butter.

8. Quality Control

Microbiological Testing: Conduct microbiological testing on finished products to ensure food safety.

Sensory Evaluation: Conduct sensory evaluation, including color, aroma, taste and flavor, to ensure product quality.

4. What are the main production machines for peanut butter?

In the process of producing peanut butter, stainless steel peanut butter mixing tanks, mobile stainless steel sealed storage tanks and peanut butter filling machines are three main equipment, each of which has different but crucial functions and uses.
