MicroThermics’ Formulators Guide to Process Selection for Plant-Based Beverages
15 Nov 2022Plant-based beverages & products are mainstream! Come to FIE booth 4D122 & read our whitepaper to see how processing in the lab at commercial HTST & UHT conditions gets you to market faster for less!
Plant-based products, like beverages, yogurts, ice creams, and sauces, are a rapidly growing sector of the mainstream food industry. Players must constantly introduce new products to capture this valuable market. But developing these products is difficult. Compared to dairy products, they present unique challenges to pasteurization, HTST/UHT, and Aseptic processing.
Selecting the proper process, and proving new formulas at commercial conditions, are critical steps in developing plant-based products. MicroThermics laboratory HTST/UHT Processors accurately simulate these commercial processes in the lab. They are flexible and easy to use. They enable developers to quickly create new plant-based products for the market quickly and efficiently.
MicroThermics is Always Innovating. Let us accelerate your development and get your plant-based products to market faster for less.
See us in booth 4D122 at FiE, and check out our whitepaper, “A Formulators Guide to Process Selection for Plant-Based Beverages.”
