THE POWER OF PLANT-BASED DRINKS

Plant-based drinks are revolutionizing the beverage industry, offering a sustainable, healthy, and diverse alternative to traditional dairy products. These drinks, derived from plants such as almonds, soy, oats, rice, and coconuts, have surged in popularity over recent years. This rise can be attributed to a growing awareness of environmental issues, health considerations, and dietary preferences including veganism and lactose intolerance. In this article, we'll explore the power of plant-based drinks, highlighting their environmental benefits, health advantages, and the innovation driving their popularity.

PROCESSING TIMES

The variety of raw materials used in plant-based milk production impacts the process design, including their different forms like whole grains, flour, or pre-made liquid base. After enzymatic treatment, large fibers are removed before formulation, followed by steps like UHT treatment, buffering, and filling. Grinding raw materials without water can be done initially, but better results come from grinding them yourself, especially for high-fat content ingredients like almonds. This approach saves time and resources by avoiding the energy-intensive drying step. Self-grinding also improves yields, process control, and product consistency.

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR GRINDING

Choosing the right form of raw materials for plant-based milk production is crucial. Pre-processed materials like flour are costlier, require extra treatment, and complicate the process. Opting for in-house grinding offers better quality control, more options, and long-term savings on raw material costs.
