Extrusion for innovative food concepts
To begin with, the extrusion of proteins is a physical process in which a product is pressed through a pre-defined opening with the application of pressure and temperature and at the end retains the shape obtained there. This process opens up a number of options for shaping the final product. With regard to texture and appearance, this process technology yields various possibilities. Extrusion is an important tool available to the food industry in particular, to safeguard the food supply while developing alternative and sustainable concepts for the food industry and pet foods.
Since the beginning, high product quality, good consulting and absolute delivery reliability have been priorities at ECP B.V. With the help of the quality management system in accordance with ISO norms and the HACCP system, product quality is demonstrably consistent. In addition, at ECP we are able to supply organic, halal and kosher-certified products.
