Protein Processing Equipment Market: Introduction
- Protein processing equipment is utilized to process and extract protein for food & beverage use. Protein processing equipment comprises different equipment, tools, and observing instruments based on the different steps such as extraction of protein, separation, purification, heat treatment, concentration, washing, and drying of protein. Distinctive equipment is utilized depending on the production capacity of processing of protein in limited scope, medium-sized, or huge scope. Protein processing equipment is also employed for processing different types of protein based on various sources such as plant-based, vegetable-based, oil seed, starch crop, fish, and animal-based protein including gelatin.
- Use of protein supplements is extending beyond food & beverages and they are also used in a wide range from cosmetics and pharmaceuticals to animal feed and pet food.
