Crickets are better known for their nighttime serenades than for their nutritional notes, but their serious protein content as well as vitamin B12 content and iron, moves them into the category of superfoods. With a light brown color and a nutty taste, cricket protein powder is a versatile dietary ingredient that makes it difficult to go off-tune with your recipes.

Black Soldier fly larvae (BSF or BSFL), also known by its scientific name, Hermentia Illucens, offer great nutritional values, making them an excellent alternative protein source for animal feed and pet food. Black soldier fly technologies have evolved sufficiently to turn the insect into a viable food ingredient. But there is no official authorization for human consumption yet and you are unlikely to find them at a restaurant anytime soon.

From cassava to sweet potatoes, various types of vegetables are processed to make one mixed bag of vegetable chips. Mainly consisting root vegetables like taro and parsnip, vegetable chips are often introduced as a healthy alternative to potato chips. To make these chips, you first need to slice the vegetables and cook them depending on your product; you can simply bake them or fry them, deep fry them, or dry them. After this process, flavorings are added to the chips.

Drying meat was the prevalent method of conserving meat cuts when food could not be chilled. But dried meat products developed into delicacies and remained a culinary mainstay long after the functional need for preservation was answered with refrigeration. The ancient techniques have been replaced by dried meat processing equipment, but the time-honored recipes remain unchanged.

In classical Greek, oregano means “mountain adornment,” Indeed, the desiccated herb embellishes many age-old recipes. Traditionally, the fragrant leaves were collected and left to air dry in a shaded area. But that method leaves the plants exposed to open field risks such as pest attacks. Today, dried oregano processing equipment creates a hygienic environment that allows the plant to release moisture faster while retaining more natural compounds.

Fruit dehydration is the earliest form of food preservation, with the earliest written record of dried fruits dating back to ancient Mesopotamian tablets, which contain the world’s earliest known recipes. Today, some of the most popular dried fruit snacks are raisins, dates, mango, pineapple, prunes, figs and apricots. Dried fruit processing equipment helps preserve the nutrients and sweetness of the fruit and prolongs its shelf life.

Around 1860, American businessman James Spratt made dog biscuits by mixing vegetables, flour, beetroot, and meat. His novel idea came after he noticed dogs eating leftover biscuits from ships in England. Following the commercial success in Britain, he started production in America, and it didn’t take long before others developed their own baked pet food formulas. But the need for more palatability led to experiments beyond the oven. In 1956, extruded dry pet food production made its splash on the market.

Gummy bears are iconic confectioneries known for their playful shapes and fruity flavors. They have gained immense popularity worldwide due to their versatility and appeal to a wide variety of tastes. In addition to being delicious, gummy bears are also easy to produce, particularly in small quantities. For medium to large-scale production of gummies, there is a multitude of gummy manufacturing equipment to help ensure that you end up with a good product.

Food powder is the result of drying and pulverizing food. It has been around since the astronauts when out to space. Fruits have a short shelf life and are difficult to preserve due to their high water content.  Fruit powder processing allows you to keep the nutrients of the fruits for a longer time, even off-season.

Drying cabinets consist of an enclosed chamber where products to be dried are placed on stainless steel trays. These drying systems reduce the relativity humidity allowing the moisture to evaporate quickly. Cabinet dryers are widely used for reducing the moisture content of sensitive products.

Industrial drying machines are designed to remove moisture from your product. But the drying process must cater to variations in the state of matter and molecular structure of the input material. Industrial dryer technology exploits the modes of heat transfer (convection, conduction, radiation, evaporative cooling) to control the moisture content.

Our food chain starts in the soil, growing crops and livestock. But between the fields and the stores, there is a line of industrial food processing equipment. Processes may be as minimalistic as cleaning fruit and as complex as homogenizing milk alternatives made from pressed legumes. In each case, processing technology is an important link in the food production chain.

Fruit pulp is a mass of pressed fresh fruit not meant for immediate consumption. Production of fruit pulp avoids wasting food and preserves the flavors and nutrient value of the fruit product. Processed fruit pulp is an ingredient in beverages, sauces, baby foods, jellies, smoothies, and bakery products.

Tradition and manufacturing procedures dictate the distinction between fruit juice, puree, and pulp. Still, naming and labeling are complex and depend on regulations, type of fruit, texture, consistency, preservation methods, and sugar or solid content (measured in Degrees Brix). Depending on your desired output, there are various fruit pulper machines for different stages of production that make the process quicker and more efficient.

If Popeye needed spinach for his power, you need healthy snacks to boost your energy! From dried fruit chips to nuts and protein bars, healthy snacks have become more popular since the 2000s, and the global healthy snack market will reach USD 98 billion by 2025. In the wide range of healthy snacks, raw fruits and vegetables appear as the main ingredient, and these snacks focus on the high protein content and reduced fat or carbohydrate percentages. Also, “less processed” and “less amount of added chemicals” are the primary trend in making healthy snacks as the clean eating movement began after the 2000s.

With the increase in the world population and rising concerns for environmental sustainability, the market for suitable new protein sources is expanding rapidly. Traditional agricultural methods alone can’t deliver sufficient protein to meet the projected food demand over the next decades. Insects provide an alternative source of nutrients. But insect protein does not mean direct insect consumption. Extracting protein and amino acids from farmed insects is more sustainable and efficient. Specialized insect protein processing technology is driving the transformation toward new protein sources.

A fresh salad with a walnut oil dressing or a peanut butter sandwich? A bag of roasted cashews or a pack of almond cookies? The common thread among these tasty treats is nut processing equipment. Not all nut ingredients are indeed nuts, botanically speaking. But the machinery that transforms shelled fruits, legumes, and drupes into fried snacks or a paste is similar. As for the food products, there is a nut recipe for every mood and occasion.

Pet food is a specialty food mostly based on formulated ingredients for various nutritional and dietary requirements. Pet food formulas are becoming more diverse and complex, considering the special health conditions and needs of young and aging pets that live in cities. The production of pet food is similar to processing food in general when it comes to fresh feedstock and flesh products.

Whether for personal consumption or agricultural purposes, you process seeds to make them clean and maximize yield. Seed processing equipment includes the steps of polishing, threshing, separation, sorting, and drying. Some cases require additional processes. For example, the extraction of the seed from fruits or vegetables. Or, pressing the seed to extract oil.

A snack is a small portion of food ready to eat and simple and fast to prepare. People usually consume snacks during the day between traditional meals such as breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Snack foods include simple products such as nuts, dried fruits, peanuts as well as packaged and processed foods. Puffed corn products made by extrusion or flavored potato chips are examples of processed foods.

Spice manufacturing is one of the world's oldest trading products. The word spice refers to any dried part of a plant other than the leaves and is used for seasoning and food coloring. Spices are made from dried barks, roots, berries, and twigs, while green leafy parts of plants are considered herbs. Well-known examples include cinnamon, chilies, star anise, ginger, garlic salt, turmeric, cumin, or pepper, as well as pre-mixed blends such as Masala, Five-Spice Powder, or Old Bay.
