At Food Pilot Plant, extraction equipment (such as supercritical CO2 extraction) and spray dyer are part of co-operation with LUT University. Also, oil press fulfills the services. With our extraction methods, various desirable components and fractions (such as oat oil) can be separated without solvents. With spray dyer, for instance berry powders can be produced.
The laboratory analyzes cover many process-controlling analyzes (for instance, pH, viscosity) as well as shelf-life studies in a controlled condition cabinet, in which temperature, humidity and light can be controlled.
In October 2024, Texture Analyser and volume scanner (VolScan Profiler) arrived in the laboratory, which enable precise analyses regarding textural properties and volume of food products.
