Food Production: A Step Towards Sustainable Future
The food industry is witnessing a revolution, with a growing demand for sustainable and healthy products. Plant-based products represent an innovative response to these needs, combining sustainability with advanced technology.
These products are made entirely from plant-based ingredients, often aiming to mimic the texture, taste, and appearance of traditional animal-derived foods. The process begins with the careful selection of raw materials, such as soy, peas, and lentils, which are then meticulously blended to ensure balance and flavor.
A key phase in their production is extrusion, which alters the protein structure to achieve the desired texture. This is followed by fermentation, an essential process that enhances the aromatic profile and ensures natural preservation of the product. This step can last up to 72 hours and requires precise temperature control.
The production facilities are equipped with cutting-edge technologies, including fermentation and cooling cells, and cleanrooms for slicing and packaging products in a fully controlled environment. Our experience at Travaglini allows us to customize the design of these facilities, thus ensuring the highest quality standards.
With the adoption of technological solutions such as artificial intelligence for process monitoring and quality control, we are leading the evolution towards a more efficient and sustainable food industry.
