Process intensification for the production of mycoprotein and Quorn products uisng an innovative (Microwave Volumetric Heating (MVH) process

最近的政府和部门倡议呼吁提高制造业的效率，包括减少能源使用和水消耗。该项目旨在使用一种新的加热方法来烹调Quorn产品，同时通过简化和紧密耦合来减少能源消耗、水耗和强化工艺。根据FDF的指导方针，该项目的成果将是显著减少生产足迹，减少能源使用，并减少我们工艺的总体用水量。我们合作伙伴的其他成果将包括增加对微波如何在连续过程中与一系列粘性食品材料相互作用的理解。

Recent governmental and sector initiatives call for more efficient processes in manufacturing including reducing energy usage and water consumption. The project aims to use a new method of heating to cook Quorn products with a concomitant reduction in energy use, water consumption and intensification of the process by streamlining and close coupling. Outputs of the project will be a significant reduction in manufcaturing footprint, reduction in enrgy use and reduction of the overall water consumption of our process as per FDF guidelines. Other outputs for our partner will include increased understanding of how microwaves interact ina continous process with a range of viscous food materials
