Filtration for Fermentation of Plant-Based Protein

Presented by Scott Grimes, Technical Specialist North America, and Dominik Michel, Technical Specialist Europe

Key to the production of plant-based protein and meat alternatives is an effective fermentation process. This includes any compressed air, technical gas, or liquid required for fermentation that needs to be filtered to a sterile level.

Key Learning Objectives:

• The growing demand and variety of plant-based protein products
• The fermentation processes involved in producing plant-based proteins
• Common bacterial risks and how to protect against contamination
• The proper filtration techniques for air, gas and liquid used in the fermentation process
