When quality, efficiency and sustainability come together

The plant-based food industry is in constant and rapid development and it can be a challenge for alternative protein and plant-based food manufacturers to stay on top of new business opportunities while also improving production processes and the quality of products. We have market-leading experience across the entire food and agricultural industry on how to improve production processes and achieve consistent food and agricultural quality, and we want to be a value-adding partner to your plant-based business. We know what your challenges are, because we have helped and supported thousands of other businesses within the food and agricultural industry. 

Control your compositions for better quality

We know that many manufacturers of alternative proteins and plant-based products struggle with achieving consistent quality in their production, and one of the reasons is a lack of insight into the detailed composition of their products. Did you know that just because you order the same specified raw material from your suppliers does not necessarily mean you get the same product every time?

If you want to make sure that the composition of your alternative protein and plant-based products remains the same over time, you need to be able to measure the key parameters of your ingredients at every step throughout the production process, from raw material to finished product. This will also enable you to use the right volume of raw materials and optimise your plant-based production processes, limiting waste and reducing costs.

You can become able to consistently deliver what your consumers want: a delicious, healthy product that is also good for the planet. A product that contains exactly what it says on the label, nothing more, nothing less. At the same time, you can improve your processes, reduce costs and improve your top line.

Better for our planet and for your bottom line

When you are constantly on top of key parameters throughout your production process, you can more easily control and optimise your alternative protein and plant-based product recipes. By measuring parameters such as fat, moisture and protein levels, you will be able to optimise your quality assurance processes significantly: not only when you receive raw plant-based materials from your suppliers but also at several critical points throughout the production process.

This means that you can use your raw ingredients as efficiently as possible and minimise waste and rework. You will not only be able to optimise production costs but also have more sustainable production processes. In short, it is better for your business, better for your consumers and better for the planet.

And last but not least, you will be able to consistently deliver the same high-quality product that appeals to your consumers. In every batch, every week, every month. Every time.

How quality testing works in alternative protein and plant-based production processes

The quality control of your alternative protein and plant-based products is achieved with advanced analytical solutions. These solutions can measure on several parameters at the places in the production process where it will add the most value to your business.

The controls can include tests on raw material, precise measurements of critical controlling parameters and rapid tests and analyses of final products. We can collaborate with you on identifying the parameters that will offer the most value for money in your plant-based production, and we offer analytical packages for fat, protein, total solids, moisture and others. The controls can be done either with bench instruments or with in-line processing depending on your business needs, and the solutions are naturally networked for a seamless and more efficient operations across your business.

By having detailed insights into the composition of your product at every step of your production process, you will be able to maintain a constant overview of the key parameters in your plant-based production. This will not only offer you better control of your processes but will also help to reduce waste and rework, enabling a more sustainable and efficient production.
