In order to maximize fruit "show" and deliver clean fresh taste in ice cream, sorbet, frozen yogurt and sherbets, Lyons utilizes tubular aseptic processing techniques. Lyons pioneered this system to deliver:

 

Sterility

This is especially important when dealing with strawberries, a field crop. While all strawberries are washed prior to freezing, there is a possibility of contamination, which can result in spoilage. All Lyons aseptically processed fruits are commercially sterilized for shelf stability up to nine months.

 

Consistency

All fruits vary in quality, but when purchasing Lyons processed fruit you are guaranteed consistent color, drained weight, brix, and flavor. These are important factors to ensure a high quality finished product.

 

Storage

Freezer storage, either on-site or in a commercial warehouse, is expensive. Maintaining fruit inventory in refrigerated storage allows frozen storage to be more profitably used for inventoried finished goods.

 

Convenience

Aseptically processed fruits are always ready to use and do not require lengthy "thaw time."
