FREE Webinar - Extrusion and Transformation of Plant Proteins
April 30, 2021 | 10:00 AM - 12:30 PM (CST)
As consumers embrace alternative proteins, it is a race to market for plant-based meats. Extrusion can create foods with the taste, texture, and visual appeal of animal proteins…and the process is cost effective, scalable, and sustainable.
At this webinar, learn tools for success from experts in the plant-based field with live Q&A sessions after each presentation.

Workshop Location: Agri-Food Innovation Centre, 2335 Schuyler Street, Saskatoon, SK CANADA
The evolution of plant-based protein foods available in the market has occurred in part due to consumer expectations and awareness and advancements in food processing technologies. As consumers balance environmentally sustainable food choices with nutrition and health outcomes, innovations in plant-based food manufacturing is becoming increasingly important. This workshop will focus on diversity of plant-based protein applications produced using twin-screw extrusion.
