Watch the webinar: Accelerating the future of food
The future of novel food processing
A food and feed revolution has begun. Both start-ups and established producers are venturing into new categories – plant-based, fermented or cultivated proteins.
If you are one of them or considering new strategies, Alfa Laval is by your side. When it comes to trials, upscaling, cost efficiency and resource savings, we have proven solutions applied in a range of novel food industries.
Want to explore trends, technologies, and practical examples shaping the future of food and feed?

Boosting next generation food and feed
From large, established producers to innovative start-ups. From experimental fermentation installations to full-scale plants. Alfa Laval is deeply involved in the novel food industry.
“We are keen to support companies in their pursuit of developing, upscaling or commercializing alternative protein sources for food and feed. With our solid application know-how, portfolio of hygienic components and unique trial facilities, we are already engaged in a wide range of novel food projects,”
says Frederic Liot, Food Industry Manager at Alfa Laval and mentions a couple of examples.
Novel food projects
- In Sweden, an agricultural cooperative company opted for Alfa Laval pumps and other hygienic flow equipment for their brand-new, large-scale production of plant-based proteins from yellow peas.
- In Finland, a new plant is up and running with Alfa Laval pumps, valves, and tank cleaning equipment for production of protein-rich feed ingredients from biomass.
- And in the Netherlands, a leading producer of plant-based dairy products improved the quality of its yoghurt alternatives by upgrading the existing line with Alfa Laval powder mixer, heat exchanger and valves.
Try before you buy
Next generation food and feed are experimental by nature.
In our Application & Innovation Centre in Denmark, you can carry out trials before you decide to invest – either at the Centre in Denmark or at your manufacturing site – always supervised by our application and technology experts.
The Centre can be used for trials of both plant-based and fermentation-based applications.
