A glimpse into the world of biotechnology
Alternative food products are booming – driven by a wide range of motivations. For many, the conscious decision to avoid animal-based ingredients plays a key role, while others focus on the sustainable sourcing of food. Both aspects inspire producers to rethink conventional food production processes – and within our Group, we offer tailored solutions for both approaches. With their shared technology portfolio, Krones and Steinecker provide systems for producing plant-based milk alternatives made from oats. In addition, the bioreactor from Steinecker enables the fermentative production of proteins.
Fermentation is the key to sustainable food production. But its potential goes far beyond the realm of alternative foods – it can be applied to a wide variety of biotechnological processes. These include industrial biotechnology with enzymes, bioethanol or citric acid, as well as the production of crop protection agents, fertilizers, and even pharmaceutical bioprocessing for drug manufacturing.
We support biotech companies of all sizes in developing and scaling their process technology for the production of fermentation-based products. Visit us at drinktec in Hall B6 and dive into the fascinating world of biotechnology together with the experts from Krones and Steinecker.
