This webinar explores how indirect thermal processing is used in the production of plant-based beverages and liquid foods. We explain the fundamentals of indirect heating, where the product is heated through the walls of a heat exchanger without direct contact with the heating medium, and reviews common equipment such as plate, tubular, and shell-and-tube heat exchangers. The session discusses how plant-based ingredients can influence heat transfer, fouling, and product stability during processing. Attendees gain practical insight into selecting the most effective indirect processing methods to ensure product safety, quality, and successful commercial scale-up.
