Facing new market demands, people's needs and the availability of raw materials in each country, it is of paramount importance to be able to develop gluten-free products while ensuring their highest quality.
The gluten-free future: a nutritional and cultural revolution
The rise of celiac disease and food intolerances, have generated a growing demand for gluten-free products, making processes and equipment for the production of gluten-free foods even more central. This trend has also stimulated the development of a niche of consumers who are attentive to the nutritional values of foods, preferring a lifestyle that favors more digestible and protein-rich foods.
Defining quality in gluten-free pasta
A gluten-free pasta is defined as quality if it meets precise requirements in terms of organoleptic characteristics and expectations of markets and consumers. To be in line with this principle, both the production process and the finished product must correctly interpret the market in which they are found, through constant technological development that allows gluten-free pasta to be made worldwide.
The versatility of GEA's production lines for gluten free pasta make it possible to process different types and formats of aglutinic pasta:
Dry Pasta
