HGPP – Herb/Grain Processing & Packaging

Herb/Grain Processing & Packaging
(Sanitization, Milling, Agglomeration, Blending)

Need Description:

• P&G is interested in both the technology approaches and potentially an Asia centric sourcing for large scale treatment of Herb/Grain based materials in preparation for use in Dietary Supplement, Food and Drug centric products. This encompasses approaches to sanitization to meet at least 3 log reduction in aerobic plate count, milling to two different median particle sizes <600um, <200um, non solvent based agglomeration & drying, finished product blending for content uniformity.

What P&G is looking for:

• Scope of Herb/Grain manipulation (sanitization, milling, agglomeration, blending) from field to product processor
  • Maintains natural / organic status
  • May not be organic
• Core technologies and capital investment used for each of these stages
• Range of capabilities and capacities (bench, pilot plant, mfg scale)
• Sourcing locations
• Approach to supply chain pest

P&G is NOT interested in:

• Chemical or Ionization sanitization,
• Solvent based agglomeration
