<span style="font-weight: 400">At last, you reached the final stage of processing your product - welcome to the packing world! Packing preserves and protects a product from damage, spoilage, and contamination while it makes its way from the production line to the consumer or further production. Depending on which industry your products belong to, the type of primary packaging equipment can change drastically. You need to pay careful attention to products with </span><span style="font-weight: 400">chemicals or hazardous substances since they can be potentially dangerous to human health. </span>

Packing

With consumerism comes great responsibility. More and more are switching their diet towards vegan and vegetarian alternatives, varying from dairy to meat. As more plant-based meat technologies are being invented, the production is rising in popularity. Ever wondered which challenges come with that?

Vegan meat alternatives and plant-based foods have rapidly grown in popularity over the last decade. Many people are switching to meat substitute food products. Your body does not discriminate between proteins and calories coming from meats and those coming from plants. From a nutritional point of view, they all have the same value. But chewing on a portion of veggie pumpkin protein does not feel the same as a cut of meat - the texture is completely different.

Textured Vegetable Protein

I’m high in fiber, proteins, and minerals. What are your superpowers?

Lentils are one of the oldest crops ever, and you’ll be surprised how versatile this humble legume can be. They are higher in proteins than beef and have other essential nutrients. That’s why they are the new "old" superhero or, more accurately, superfood.



Martin Jager and Cassandra Winter know it well. Martin and Cassandra are the founder of <a href="https://www.easyvegan.at/en/easyvegan-is-loved-by-everyone/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EasyVegan</a>, ready-made frozen products relying on the power of lentils.

The Making.com team met them at Free From Amsterdam 2022 where Cassandra shared how everything started. Cassandra is a <em>burger lover</em> but wanted to create something tastier than the tofu and veggie burgers already on the market. So after many experiments in the kitchen with lentils, she found the right combination for a burger that - we assure you - is a wonderful explosion of flavors. So she bought a sales trailer and traveled through Austria and Bavaria, selling her vegan products at city festivals, culinary events, sporting events and concerts. EasyVegan was then founded in April 2017 with the life partner Martin to make the lentil products accessible to a broad mass.

EasyVegan products such as lentil sliders, lentil sticks, lentil balls, and lentil patties are sustainable, purely natural, lactose-free, gluten-free, GMO-free, preservative-free, and palm oil-free products. Moreover, they are SUPER tasty!

Food

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.

Echinacea, also known as coneflowers, are brightly hued flowers with distinguished, cone-shaped flower heads. Over 200 medicines in the world are derived from coneflower extracts. Echinacea processing was introduced by Native Americans who were interested in the plant's medicinal qualities.

Echinacea extract

If you have cooked vegan food before, you would know how difficult it is to recreate umami flavor only from vegetables.

Luckily, <a class="ql-mention" spellcheck="false" href="https://www.senson.fi/products/senson-umami/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-entity-urn="urn:li:fs_miniCompany:990186" data-guid="10" data-object-urn="urn:li:company:990186" data-original-text="Senson Oy">Senson Oy</a> came up with this innovative invention - Umami Liquid Bean Extract!

This bean extract is made out of fava beans and pure water. Since this extract contains a high percentage of hydrolyzed amino acids, it can reproduce an almost “meaty” umami flavor.

The extract is naturally brewed without any coloring or additives. Slow vacuum evaporation allowed sugars and compounds to be balanced and the final product to keep a consistent flavor. This extract is easy to use as it has a consistency of syrup.

This amazing vegan umami extract by Senson Oy was selected as a finalist in the Innovation Awards <a class="ql-mention" spellcheck="false" href="https://www.figlobal.com/fieurope/en/home.html" data-entity-urn="urn:li:fs_miniCompany:3160240" data-guid="12" data-object-urn="urn:li:company:3160240" data-original-text="Food ingredients Global">Food ingredients Global</a> 2022!

#Changemaker: Fava bean umami extract for your vegan diet!

Ancient civilizations discovered that plant extracts were useful for the treatment of pathologies. The origin of plant extraction cannot be specifically verified, but we can infer that the earliest attempts at plant extraction were more intuitive than scientific. Today, the extraction of compounds is a precise process with plant extraction systems complimenting traditional knowledge.

Plant extracts

Sauces bring personality to a dish. From a spicy, dense Zhoug to a tangy, runny Suero, sauces add an extra dimension of flavor, texture, and mouthfeel. But developing recipes into industrial products with long shelf lives and consistent tastes is a complex process. Specialized sauce making equipment prepares and combines the ingredients into delicious, high-quality foods. The result is a sauce ready to elevate meals.

Sauce

Industrially manufactured soups gained traction in the 19th century when canning was invented and they have been warming us ever since. Whether it’s a classic ready-to-eat canned soup, condensed soup or a dry soup mix, soup manufacturing equipment for mixing, cooking, boiling, or sterilizing caters to every manufacturer’s production requirements.

Soup

<span style="font-weight: 400">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.</span>

It took the scientific community almost 70 years to agree on the name ‘protein’ and discard the popular alternative, proteid. But protein powder processing still needed another five decades to be commercialized in the 1950s. Once extraction and purification could be industrialized, protein powder soon became a basic staple supplement.

Protein powder

In NASA's early years, a research program was established on how to provide food for astronauts while in space. In fact, in the 1960s, nutrition bars were launched with a label called "Space Food Sticks" because they were designed to allow astronauts to eat them easily while wearing their helmets. Protein bar manufacturing equipment is used to mix ingredients, extrude the mixture at a set temperature, cool the product before cutting it to size, coating it, and allowing it to cool to prepare it for packaging.

Chickpeas for pumping up your muscle!

If you are looking for a meat, dairy, or egg protein alternative, you can try out @ChickP protein. This plant-based protein powder is, as you have guessed, made out of chickpeas!

<a href="https://www.chickp-protein.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ChickP </a>protein powder contains 90 percent chickpea protein, which is the highest rate in the world so far. The protein used in ChickP’s protein powder is isolated from fibers, oils, and starches that can degrade quality. In this way, ChickP has achieved almost equivalent protein content to milk.

This powder is uniquely white - even whiter than many other plant-extracted proteins - so it can be easily modified. Also, due to its neutral flavor, smooth mouthfeel, and white color, this protein can be used in different types of foods, such as beverages, snacks, and cereals.

Try this innovative and nutritious chickpea protein in your plant-based food product!

Bakery production includes foods usually made from flour such as bread, biscuits, and cakes. Depending on the baked good you want to make, flour can be mixed with water or other ingredients producing a paste called dough or batter. The dough is then baked in the oven using dry heat. During baking, heat is transferred from the air to the dough, first on the surface and then in the center. Moisture and liquids escape through evaporation.

Bakery

Cereals are also defined as breakfast food made from roasted grain and typically eaten with milk or yogurt. Cereal grain is a small, hard, and dry seed, which mainly harvests for human or animal consumption, like wheat, maize, or rye. Processed from the edible components of the grains, breakfast cereals contain rich nutrients and usually serve as the main course during breakfast meals. Different cereal manufacturing equipment allow various options to appear on the market, ranging from cereals, granola, and muesli. Granola and muesli can be converted into cereal bars. The healthy, on-the-go snack bar shows a growing trend due to its nutrient content and convenience.
