    Hello - 

    I am interested in building my expertise in and improving my understanding of liquid nitrogen (LN2) dosing with food products like sauces and condiments. For example, I would like to better understand (1) how to predict optimal dose duration/amount (i.e., not 'over dose' and over pressurize a container) and (2) methods to assess and quantify the efficacy of LN2 on decelerating the appearance of paneling and extending shelf life. Might someone be able to recommend resources (ideally not behind a paywall) that I could reference or consult to expand my knowledge in this space? I recognize that there is great value in this capability; however, I would like to get more "into the weeds" on the science and methodology behind implementation.

    Thanks in advance for the advice!

    Hello:
    You might start with reviewing information available from one or more of the nitrogen dosing equipment suppliers.  Several websites are listed below:
    • chartindustries.com
    • wildgoosefilling.com
    • willmanmachinery.com
    • festamachine.com
    There are additional information resources and a couple of YouTube videos available from these sites.  There are also links or other contact modes that may allow access to the supplier's technical service people.  Just a suggestion to improve your knowledge base.

    A good contact for nitro dosing is Vacuum Barrier Company (VBC). In my experience they are commonly used by some of the major OEM's.
