Alternative food and plant-based milk alternatives on the rise
Whether climate protection, renunciation of animal products, a health-conscious diet or simply the joy of something new: There are many reasons for eating foods made from alternative proteins. So many, in fact, that plant-based milk alternatives and alternative food have gone from niche product to trend seller within a very short time. Both in the retail trade and in the catering trade, the alternative protein suppliers are increasingly coming to the fore.
It's easy to get started producing plant-based milk alternatives - and we can provide you with both the technology and the know-how to do it. Our products, such as Steinecker mash vessels, are perfectly suited for processing vegan milk. Not only that: Within the Krones group, we have developed three different concepts for the production of oat drinks and other plant-based protein drinks. They range from the low-cost starter package, which uses a ready-made oat base as a basis, to the high-quality process, which starts with the milling of the basic ingredients.

Comparatively new is the production of alternative food, for example by means of precision fermentation. This method allows for the targeted programming or optimization of animal or plant cells to produce specific products like enzymes, fats, proteins, vitamins, flavourings, and natural pigments. Proteins produced through fermentation can then be combined with other ingredients and further processed to replicate meat, egg, or dairy products. Again: Understanding the brewing process is the best pre-requisite for producing alternative proteins on a large scale.
