Krones Group, an industry giant in brewing technology, is set to revolutionize the food industry with new fermentation technology. This technology, initially developed for the production of beer, is now adapted for the production of alternative proteins, particularly plant-based.
A promising partnership
Krones recently signed a partnership with
the Swiss start-up Food Brewer, specializing in fermentation-based food production. Together, they aim to rethink the food industry using fermentation technology to create sustainable and innovative products.
Technology at the heart of innovation
The bioreactor developed by Steinecker, a division of Krones, is at the heart of this revolution. Initially designed for the brewery, this circulation system was adapted for the production of plant cells. Using fermentation techniques similar to those employed in brewing, it is possible to produce high quality alternative proteins, such as whey and egg proteins.
The advantages of fermentation technology
Fermentation technology offers several advantages over traditional production methods:
- Sustainability : reduction of the environmental footprint by using renewable resources.
- Flexibility: possibility of producing a wide variety of food products.
- Quality : high quality products, without chemical additives.
- Ethics : production respectful of animals and the environment.
A promising future for the food of the future
This strategic partnership between Krones and Food Brewer ushers in a new era of food. By combining technological expertise and innovation, they help shape a more sustainable and environmentally friendly food future.
