Orange, lemon, grapefruit, tangerine and other citrus juices are beverages and food ingredients produced by extracting liquid from the fruit. They may be concentrated and frozen to aid transport and storage, then rehydrated at the point of use.

Prepared mustard is a condiment paste produced from seeds of the mustard plant blended with water, vinegar and other ingredients. It is available in many forms, including yellow, spicy brown, Dijon and whole-grain mustard.

Milk from cows, sheep, goats, and similar animals is consumed as a beverage and is the basis for all other dairy products. Plant based “milks” from coconuts, soy, oats, rice or nuts are marketed as alternatives.

Milk is produced at dairy farms and transported via truck to dairies where it is pasteurized and separated to produce lighter (skim) and heavier (cream) products, as well as ice cream, butter and other dairy specialties.

Meat products typically used as foods cover a wide range of processed animal flesh and by-products, blood and parts of livestock, poultry, seafood and game. Such products range from ground beef (hamburger) to sausage, chicken nuggets, surimi and supplements like fish oil. When chopped into chunks or ground for packaging or further processing, meat parts may be transferred using hygienic positive displacement pumps. Vertically mounted and hopper-fed positive displacement pumps can transfer these small soft solids and semi-solids as well as liquids.

Mayonnaise is a creamy sauce or dressing produced from egg yolks and vegetable oils and is widely used in sandwiches, hamburgers and in salads.

Mayonnaise and its cousin, Aoli, is an emulsion of egg yolks, vegetable oil and an acid like vinegar and/or lemon juice, as well as spices.

Mayonnaise is a thixotropic (shear thinning), high viscosity fluid with viscosities ranging from 2,000 to 250,000 cPs or more, depending on formulation and temperature. It is also highly sensitive to bacterial contamination so regular cleaning of equipment is required.

Ketchup (catsup) is produced from tomatoes with the addition of vinegar, sugar, and spices. It is used as a condiment and as a basis for other sauces. 

Ketchup is famously a non-Newtonian, thixotropic (shear-thinning) fluid, thick under static conditions, then when agitated the viscosity is reduced, returning to the viscous state when static again. Its viscosity ranges from up to 50,000 cPs while static to around 5,000 cPs when agitated, with specific gravity about 1.13. It is acidic, with a pH ranging from 3.6 to 3.9. 

Honey is a sweet, sticky fluid produced by bees and other insects from nectar collected from flowers.  It is used for human food consumption as a sweetener and in some alcoholic products such as mead. 

The typical pH of honey is 3.9, which helps to inhibit microbial growth. The melting point of crystallized honey ranges between 40° and 50°C (104° to 122°F). Specific gravity is around 1.4, and viscosity ranges from about 1,300 cPs at 40°C (104°F) to 14,000 cPs at 20°C (68°F). 

Glucose is a simple sugar produced by plants and is an abundant source of carbohydrate. It is processed into glucose syrup and used as a sweetener in foods and confectionery products.

Stainless steel hygienic gear pumps are ideal for transferring gelatin due to their exceptional corrosion resistance, durability, and ability to maintain rigorous hygiene standards. Gelatin, often used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries, requires a pump that can handle viscous materials while ensuring that there is no contamination. Stainless steel, known for its non-reactive properties, is perfect for preventing any undesirable reactions with gelatin, ensuring product purity and safety.

Fruits pieces are used in a wide variety of food products. Fruits commonly used in food processing include apples, peaches, apricots, berries, grapes, citrus, pineapples, bananas, guavas, mangoes, papayas and passion fruit.  

Fruits and fruit slurries and fillings are used in a wide variety of commercially processed food products, such as baked goods like fruitcakes, tarts, pies, pastries and muffins; confections like chocolates, ice cream, yogurt and cereal bars; jams and jellies; as well as fruit juices and wine.
