Ontad’s Assurance and Technology in Cooked Legume Production
The success of cooked legume products depends on the correct boiling technique, achieving the ideal consistency, and hygienic processing methods that extend shelf life. Ontad’s production process stands out with its unyielding commitment to quality:
- Raw Material Selection and Pre-processing: The highest quality legumes such as lentils, chickpeas, and beans, sourced from our supplier network, are purified from foreign materials and meticulously washed before starting production.
- Controlled Cooking Process: Legumes are boiled in modern and controlled systems according to each type’s specific cooking time and ideal consistency. This preserves the nutritional values of the products while achieving a perfect texture without disintegration or becoming mushy.
- Laboratory Analyses and Quality Control: Every batch of production undergoes comprehensive analyses in our advanced laboratory:
- Consistency and Texture Analysis: The ideal firmness and integrity of cooked legumes are continuously checked through sensory and physical tests.
- pH and Water Activity (aw) Analysis: pH value and water activity levels, which affect the product’s shelf life and microbiological stability, are meticulously measured.
- Microbiological Analyses: Regular tests for pathogens and spoilage microorganisms are performed to ensure that the products are completely safe for human health.
- Hygienic Production and Packaging Conditions: Our facilities operate in full compliance with international food safety and ethical trade certifications such as BRCGS, IFS, KOSHER, HALAL, and SEDEX. Cooking, cooling, and packaging areas are designed to prevent cross-contamination and extend the product’s shelf life. All our personnel receive regular training on hygiene.
- Flexible Packaging Solutions: We deliver your cooked legume products packaged in your desired weight (canned, glass jars, bulk, or vacuum-packed) and form (liquid or drained).
