There is a growing demand on the market for plant-based meats. Consumers are seeking for alternative proteins to integrate into their food. With Clextral twin screw extrusion technology, you can create foods that have the taste, the texture and the visual appeal of animal proteins. Those products can be used as ingredients for vegetarian/vegan dishes or used for ready-to-eat prepared meals.
Extruded fibrous proteins present many advantages in regard to health. Indeed, they are cholesterol-free, low in fat, high in protein and fiber content and also rich in nutrients. These vegetable proteins are made from plants such as soya, cereals, pulses (peas, beans, lentils, lupine), sunflower or even insects and mycoproteins…

So, with this event you will have the possibility to learn all the process from ingredients selection to processing techniques. We will also talk about the best practices in processing plant-based meats and meats analogs.
