MicroThermics, a global leader in laboratory- and pilot-scale UHT/HTST processing equipment and miniature plant trials exhibited and presented at Fi Europe, Dec. 2-4, in Paris. 

Technical Sales Manager Luke Huffman presented “Unlocking the Future of Plant-Based Products: Mastering Steam Injection Processing.” 

Plant-based products are not just a passing trend; they have firmly established themselves as an essential and growing market segment. With diverse sources such as oat, almond, soy, and hemp (among others), the company is witnessing a remarkable expansion of offerings—from milks, meal replacements to desserts and smoothies, spreads, sauces and cheeses. However, developing these products brings its own set of challenges. That's why steam injection processing is imperative for effectively meeting their specific requirements.

Huffman’s presentation covered:

• Why steam injection?
• How do you select processing conditions?
• What challenges do these products have and how do can you address them?

The systems accurately simulate commercial processes for dairy and plant-based beverages, nutritional and functional drinks, juices, coffees, teas, sauces, soups and other liquid foods. In addition to equipment, the company offers Miniature Plant Trial Services, process matching and scale-up support, training, and ongoing client service, giving companies a faster, lower-risk path from concept to commercialization.
