In this episode of the PPTI Podcast, industry experts delve into how next-generation downstream processing is reshaping the scalability, efficiency, and sustainability of alternative protein production. What was once a purely technical stage – purification, separation, and drying – has become a strategic lever that defines commercial success.

Speakers from leading organizations share how innovations in membrane filtration, resin-based purification, and process optimization are boosting yields, enhancing ingredient functionality, and cutting environmental impact. From improving taste and texture to reducing water and energy use, the panel explores how smarter downstream design is closing the gap between pilot-scale promise and profitable large-scale operations – paving the way for more sustainable and affordable protein ingredients worldwide.
