Low-TemperatureDehumidification & UV-C Sterilization Before Ultrasonic Bagging
Before entering our Class-100,000 packaging cleanroom, whole-cut botanicals are dehydrated to `Moisture <= 8.5%` (`Aw <= 0.45`) and pass through a non-thermal tunnel sterilization system, achieving `TPC < 1,000 CFU/g` without irradiation (`0 kGy`, meeting strict German and Japanese non-irradiated import rules).
