Taking plant-based proteins to the next level

Global demand for plant-based goods continues to speed ahead – with plant-based proteins in particular showing huge potential. If we do a little digging, there are plenty of reasons why.

Take the global megatrends for health & wellness and sustainability, both of which have had a great and lasting impact on what we eat: with greater focus on protein-rich foods and beverages to growing concern for animal welfare being reflected in what we see on supermarket shelves.  

Other key factors include our collective effort to reduce food waste, and that production of plant-based meat has a much lower carbon footprint than animal meat. This creates further opportunity, with plant-based alternative foods usually requiring additional ingredients to add texture and nutritional value. Like plant-based protein.

And with plenty of raw materials to choose from, includingsoy, potatoes, peas, fava beans, and mung beans, it should come as no surprise the global plant-based protein market is expected to reach over$22.7 billion by the end of 20311.

But all this potential is not without its challenges. After all, and as much as we’d like it to be the case, you can’t just install a new production line, press start, and begin delivering your customers high-quality plant-based protein powder that’s sustainable and always safe for consumption.

Whether you are looking to build an entirely new process line or integrate new equipment into your existing production plant, there is a lot to consider before making the leap. And so, to create a presence and build long-term trust among customers, that means finding solutions that will help you produce exceptionally pure and functional plant-based protein powder at scale – while reducing total cost of ownership. Solutions that focus as much attention on efficiency, safety, and output as they do on the final product.
