How To Produce High-Quality Plant Proteins With Optimum Functionality

By Rodrigo Villas

In today's world, plant-based consumers expect plant-based products to be high in protein and flavor. Manufacturers' goal is to make this possible while also minimizing potential denaturation effects and preventing contamination.

To effectively produce these proteins manufacturers will require a process that minimizes potential denaturation effects induced by thermal, chemical, or mechanical stress and prevents carrying over natural contamination such as suspended solids, bioburden, fat and antinutritional factors. Explore the available processing methods, which include the conventional production process and optimizing the conventional production with membrane.
