Food-grade processing technology for ingredient scale-up
Our pilot plant is fully equipped to handle a wide variety of processes, from initial raw material to concentrated or dried end products. We use a combination of proven and novel technologies to work towards the most efficient and scalable solution.
What we offer:
At Bodec, we specialize in extracting proteins, fibers, and other high-value components from raw materials and sidestreams. Using advanced methods such as enzymatic hydrolysis, pH-driven extraction, or fermentation, we aim to get the most out of all products.
At Bodec, we support the full journey from raw material to finished ingredient, ensuring every step of your process is efficient and scalable. After size reduction or extraction, separation becomes a decisive moment: it determines purity, yield and functional properties.
Next to extraction and separation, Bodec is specialized in drying technologies to transform liquid or semi-liquid streams into stable, high-quality powders or concentrated ingredients. Our expertise includes evaporation, spray drying, drum drying, and agitated thin-film drying, allowing us to select the optimal method based on product characteristics, thermal sensitivity, and desired final properties.
By carefully controlling temperature, residence time, and feed conditions, we ensure that nutritional value, functionality, and solubility are preserved. Whether you are working with proteins, fibers, starches, or specialty fractions, our pilot-scale drying facilities enable process optimization and scale-up, providing reliable, reproducible results for industrial production.

Frequently asked questions
The right food processing technology depends on the product, the raw material, the desired functionality and the intended production scale.
At Bodec, we look at factors such as product composition, viscosity, sensitivity to heat, required separation, concentration or drying steps, food safety, yield and cost price. Based on this, we select and test the most suitable processing route.
Many innovations in food processing focus on improving efficiency, sustainability, product quality and scalability.
Examples include advanced separation technologies, membrane filtration, improved drying techniques like the Agitated Thin Film Dryer, precision fermentation-related downstream processing, side stream valorization and energy-efficient concentration or evaporation processes.
Yes, many food ingredient and bioprocessing projects require a combination of technologies.
For example, a process may include separation, filtration, concentration, evaporation, hydrolysis, drying or stabilization in one integrated production route.
Bodec helps customers design and test the right combination of processing steps to achieve the desired product quality, functionality and scalability.
New food processing technologies are tested step by step, starting with the product requirements and the expected process performance.
At Bodec, we can test processing routes at pilot scale to evaluate product quality, yield, processing time, equipment suitability, cleaning requirements and practical feasibility.
This helps customers understand whether a technology is suitable before moving towards larger-scale or industrial production.
Yes, innovative food processing technologies can be scaled to industrial production, but scale-up requires careful testing and validation.
Yes, Bodec offers independent advice on food processing technologies. Our focus is on finding the most suitable processing route for the customer’s product, process and scale-up goals.
This allows us to give practical, objective advice on technology selection, process design, pilot testing and industrial scale-up.
