| Raw material/Formulation Advise on selection of specific raw materials as well as formulation guidelines to support optimal process and product quality conditions. The key to reduce overall production cost is related to formulation, which by far is the greatest contributor. By means of substantial know-how we advise on selection of alternative protein and carbohydrates sources. Product quality related to extrusion is very much depending on formulation according to final product specifications. In order to improve product quality, formulation can likewise be improved without consequences to nutrient or financial specifications. | | Top |
