Process steps in the production of meat substitutes

First, the ingredients are prepared according to the recipe. This may involve soaking, cooking, pregrinding or mixing the ingredients to achieve a suitable consistency and texture.

The ingredients prepared in this way are crushed and ground in the colloid mill. The colloid mill uses its grinding and cutting mechanisms to thoroughly grind the ingredients and achieve a uniform consistency. This results in a meat-like texture. Spices and other flavourings can also be added at this stage to enhance the taste. After the ingredients have been processed in the colloid mill, they are mixed together in the desired proportions.

Processing and production can be done with Probst & Class mills and systems in a batch process or continuous inline process, depending on the requirements.
