Company's story
Our Specialty
1. Drying and sterilization equipment by superheated steam
Superheated Steam Sterilizer
Superheated steam is used to sterilize and dry foodstuffs while reducing flavor deterioration and oxidation and retaining their nutritional value.
Since "roasting" includes the meaning of "charring" (oxidation), we have registered the new term "superheated steam roasting®" as a trademark.
Superheated Steaming® is a registered trademark of ASTRA FOOD PLAN Co.

Our story
What a waste!
These are the words that escape our lips every time we hear about the reality of food waste from customers who have considered introducing our "superheated steaming machine".
The domestic food loss problem (about 6 million tons per year), which has been attracting attention recently, does not include out-of-spec crops produced in production areas and food waste from food factories (about 20 million tons per year). I call this "hidden food loss" because it is not widely known that a large amount of "leftovers" are edible and are discarded every day.
For example, a certain food manufacturer discards several tens of thousands of tons of vegetable waste as industrial waste every year at a cost of several hundred million yen. This is because vegetable waste, which contains moisture and is easily damaged, is inefficient to transport, and existing methods for drying are too time-consuming and costly. However, the "superheated steamer," with its high production efficiency, cost performance, sterilization by superheated steam technology, and high nutritional value, has made it possible to transform previously discarded ingredients from "waste" into "new materials.
The next destination of "Mottainai" is "Delicious! The next destination of "Mottainai" is "Delicious! We believe that the creation of a system in which the superheated steaming powder produced by the "superheated steaming machine" is upcycled as a raw material for final products that are tasty, safe, and have high added value in terms of nutritional value is the trump card for solving the hidden food loss problem.
ASTRA FOOD PLAN aims to build a recycling-oriented food cycle that transcends industry boundaries to realize a sustainable society.
