In recent years, plant-based foods, labeled as "healthy, eco friendly, and innovative," have rapidly swept across global dining tables. Data shows that the global plant-based meat market is projected to exceed $27.9 billion by 2025, with China, as an emerging market, leading in growth velocity.Young consumers (especially post-90s generations) and female demographics dominate demand. From vegan chicken legs and plant-based meat to ready to eat meal kits and plant protein beverages, global players like Danone and Starfield are breaking boundaries in texture and form through technological innovation and cross-industry collaborations, driving plant-based products from "niche vegetarian options" to "mainstream consumption." However, as competition intensifies, food safety and quality consistency have become critical challenges: how can manufacturers ensure hygiene, safety, and nutrient retention while scaling up production?
Plant-based ingredients such as legumes, nuts, and grains are prone to microbial contamination during processing, while their texture and flavor are highly sensitive to sterilization methods. Improper sterilization risks protein denaturation and nutrient loss. The DTS high temperature retort addresses these challenges with the following advantages:
Precision temperature control: preserving nutrition and flavor
Equipped with an upgraded temperature control system, DTS ensures precise alignment of sterilization time and temperature. This eliminates pathogens (e.g., E. coli, Clostridium botulinum) while retaining the natural taste and nutrients of plant proteins, resolving consumer pain points like "dry texture" and "excessive additives" in plant-based meat.
High efficiency & energy savings: adaptable to diverse product forms
Whether for liquid plant milk, solid plant-based meat, or ready to eat meal kits, DTS offers customized sterilization solutions. Its flexible parameter adjustments boost sterilization efficiency by 30% and reduce energy consumption by 20%, driving cost-effective production.
Compliance driven production: unlocking global market access
The equipment meets China’s Food Safety Law and international certifications (EU, US FDA), providing a "green pass" for global exports. In sectors like meat alternatives and dairy substitutes, sterilization safety has become a core competitive edge for building consumer trust.
The future is here: DTS partners with you to pioneer the plant-based era
By 2025, plant-based innovation will diversify further—from "meat mimicry" to "superior alternatives," and from basic proteins to functional additives. Production processes will face stricter demands. DTS high temperature retort serves as both shield (technology) and spear (innovation), offering end to end sterilization solutions from R&D to mass production. It empowers brands to lead in safety, taste, and cost efficiency, securing dominance in this transformative market.
