Fermentation Processes in Food Manufacturing: How MES is Revolutionizing Food Manufacturing

In our latest podcast, Chief Futurist and tech expert, Frank Maggiore, dives into fermentation processes in Food Manufacturing. He dives into the fascinating world of fermentation manufacturing, where ancient traditions meet space-age technology. This age-old process has been given a modern makeover and is now at the forefront of food manufacturing innovation. From your morning yogurt to trendy kombucha, fermentation is working its microbial magic in more places than you might think. It's used to create everything from bread and cheese to soy sauce, beer, and wine. It extends shelf life, enhances nutritional value, and can even make foods easier to digest.

Intrigued? Listen in and learn more about:

• How fermentation is revolutionizing sustainable food production·
• How companies are transforming coffee grounds into beauty products
• How companies are using fermentation to create animal-free dairy proteins
• What the "Goldilocks problem" of consistency is and how cloud-based MES helps maintain the perfect conditions during fermentation

What's the key takeaway? Fermentation is no longer just an art – it's a high-tech science that's reshaping the food industry. With MES leading the charge, we're entering an era of smarter, more sustainable, and downright tastier fermented foods.
