Dear bhatnagar,

I would expect that the specification will also include the sourced raw material / method of generation.

at standar minimum of GMP state that "Steam in contact with the product should be filtered and comply with the requirements for potable water and Non-potable water (for use in, fire control, steam production, refrigeration and other similar purposes where it would not contaminate food) shall have a separate system. Non- potable water systems shall be identified and shall not connect with, or allow seepage into the potable water system."

So Specification for steam that contact with product have to potable. Hope can help youPosted Image

There are generally treatment chemicals also used in all steam generation to protect the pipes and equipment and you must makes they are appropriate for food contact.

Zombie thread.

 

Using appropriate instrumentation to verify potability, etc as per previous Posts..

 

The details will presumably relate to Local Regulatory Standards.

Jut to add on to what Charles said

 

when I was young we used to use something like this : Tek1-pure steam sampler that converted the steam to just water and  you can do all tests you generally do on potable water


A vu in time , saves nine
