Novel Food

The concept of novel food encompasses a broad range of applications, from plant-based formulations to biotechnological production, requiring not only greater raw material diversity but also more sustainable, traceable, and functional production models. Unlike conventional methods, these next-generation processes involve complex fluid streams with multiple components, variable viscosity, and stringent precision requirements.

In systems containing fibre, protein, starch, and other bioactive fractions, each component plays a critical role in product formulation. Even minor errors during separation can compromise a product’s sensory properties, including taste, aroma, and texture, or undermine its stability. For this reason, separation and concentration processes should no longer be regarded as merely technical details, but as fundamental building blocks of product design and success.

The stringent quality standards of the novel food industry require high-efficiency processing of short product life cycles, frequent recipe changes, and varying product formulations on the same production line. This need for flexibility places greater emphasis not only on equipment separation capabilities but also on clean-in-place (CIP) performance, hygienic design, and process repeatability.

At Polat Makina, our integrated systems support both environmental and economic sustainability by enabling by-product recovery, minimizing raw material losses, and reducing waste generation. Through our engineering solutions, which address the entire process from a holistic perspective, we help ensure that your production lines operate reliably, hygienically, and profitably over the long term, even when handling diverse product formulations and meeting demanding quality expectations.
