Buderim
Ginger
uses sophisticated, highly automated techniques throughout the processing
and packaging stages and its strong commitment to research and development
ensures that it stays at the forefront of processing technology.
The tender first-harvest grade ginger
is carefully stored, using technology that allows it to be held with minimal
deterioration for processing throughout the year, thus guaranteeing consistent
product quality.
This
ginger
is graded by advanced machinery which uses combined computer and laser
technology to detect fibre content at varying percentages, followed by
vision and computer technology to sort the ginger by size.
Candied, Syruped, Glace and Crystallised Ginger
are further processed in the famous open vat system. The open vat allows
the ginger
to develop a juicy texture as the syrup penetrates through the ginger
pieces. This combined with the evaporation of moisture from the vats results
in a better development of the rich ginger
taste, through the caramelisation of sugars and the concentration of the
natural ginger
flavours.
Late
harvest ginger
root is dried in a dehydrator to supply dried ginger
for spice, oil and oleo-resin extraction for use in flavourings, essences
and fragrances. These fragrances are widely used particularly in the manufacture
of Ginger
Ale, Ginger
Beer, Ginger
Wine, Ginger
Perfume, Ginger
Essence and many more, some are probably even yet to be discovered.
