Make sure you’re ready to meet the increasing demand for plant-based protein alternatives with the gases and processes you need to achieve the desired moisture, quality and taste of these different ingredients.

Create a more sustainable future with alternative proteins

Maintain quality in alternative protein ingredients and food production with gases, equipment and expertise from Airgas, an Air Liquide company

Improve the quality of alternative proteins you produce and use

As the world’s population continues to increase and consumer diets change, the food industry must adapt to keep up with the need for additional food sources. Substituting animal protein sources with plant-based protein alternatives is one way to help fill the gap. However, product quality and taste remain just as important to your customers so you must achieve the right balance to ensure satisfaction. Whether you’re supplying alternative protein ingredients or a food manufacturer transitioning from using animal proteins to alternative proteins in your alternative meat or other plant- based food products, this emerging trend requires you to run a flexible and agile operation. This means the ability to implement innovative solutions alongside proven technologies to create a process that protects the integrity of your products.
