Training course on extrusion of plant-based meats
The growth in the vegetarian and vegan foods market has fuelled interest in the technology used to produce 'meat-like' textures from vegetable protein.
To address this growing interest, Australian extrusion specialists Dennis Forte and Gordon Young will be running a course on specialised extrusion technology — High Moisture Extrusion Cooking (HMEC) — on 14 and 15 October.
Topics to be covered include: introduction to extrusion technology in general; ingredients used for HMEC; protein reactions for texturisation; conditions required in the extruder and how to achieve those conditions.
This course is going to be live-streamed during Australian business hours. The program includes two practical demonstrations — one pre-recorded and one live-streamed from the CFAM pilot plant in South Africa.
