JSP Launches E-Beam Sterilization Service to Boost Thai Exports

JSP Pharmaceutical (Thailand) Public Company Limited has officially launched a high-energy Electron Beam (E-Beam) sterilization service, reaching up to 10 MeV. According to Sittichai Daengprasert, Chairman of the JSP Group, this technology is designed to assist Thai industries in meeting stringent international safety and contamination standards. The E-Beam process is a non-thermal, chemical-free method that effectively controls yeast, mold, and microorganisms while extending the shelf life of various products, including food, animal feed, herbs, cannabis, kratom, supplements, and medical devices. This development is particularly significant for Thai exporters facing increasing pressure from the European Union and the United States regarding chemical fumigation restrictions. By providing this service domestically, JSP aims to help local businesses, especially SMEs, overcome non-tariff trade barriers and reduce reliance on foreign processing facilities. The technology also supports the livestock industry's transition toward reduced antibiotic use and enhances the value of Thai herbal products. While the service is now operational, the long-term impact on export volumes and the specific adoption rates among various industry sectors remain to be confirmed as businesses integrate this new sterilization option into their supply chains.
