Serbian company is looking for Israeli joint venture partner. Issued share capital EUR 375.998,25 in cash and 375.998,25 EUR in kind Core business; Electrical engineering, electrical equipment for electrical power transfer and transformer substation Project target: Business diversification, development of new sophisticated technologies, transfer of technology to SME food producer in Serbia, in the region and abroad, contribution to farming business development in the country Project purpose: Production of lyophilization equipment, establishment of the Laboratory for monitoring biologically activity of functional food and production of many new products using freeze draying technologies. Process description ELBI started freeze – draying project together with Faculty of Agriculture - Zemun Serbia. Project objective is development and application of sophisticated technologies from functional food products and semi –products preparation from different sort of fruits, vegetables specifically mushrooms and meat.

The freeze –draying remove water and oxygen – the two primary causes of food deterioration. The principal advantages of lyophilization as a drying process are minimum damage and loss of activity in delicate heat-liable materials, speed and completeness of rehydratation, possibility of accurate clean dosing into final product containers and porous, friable structure. Freeze – dried foods taste fresh, look fresh, the weigh less than fresh and stay fresh. Frozen foods retain fresh flavor and nutritional value. The freeze –dried food is pack in moisture – and – oxygen proof packaging ensure freshness until opened. Location All industrial facilities are located in Industrial Zone Valjevo Serbia.
