SEEDFOOD: Functional and palatable plant seed storage proteins for sustainable foods

SEEDFOOD aims to tailor plant seed protein with highly functional, palatable, and nutritional properties through novel protein design and in-depth understanding of molecular interactions in the food matrix.

Less is more: Less-refined pea ingredients for more plant-based food

Protein and starch-rich legumes play a crucial role in promoting sustainability and food security. However, developing legume varieties specifically suited for human consumption has been largely overlooked. Gelation is…

Beyond sustainability: a holistic approach to evaluate the nutritional quality of plant protein-based foods

A more plant-based diet is part of the solution for a green transition for our planet, with plant-based foods as the main drivers to decrease animal protein consumption. However, plant proteins are less digestible and d…

Boosting local production of organic high quality grain (BOOST)

The aim of BOOST is to involve stakeholders from the entire value chain in a joint effort to increase resilience in organic grain production by increasing diversity in food and field, and increase credibility to organic…

PROFERMENT: Solid-state fermentations for protein transformations and palatability of plant-based foods

PROFERMENT aims to create the scientific foundation for fermented plant based foods of the future.

HealthFerm: Innovative pulse and cereal-based food fermentations for human health and sustainable diets

Plant-based fermented foods for healthier and more sustainable diets.

Making microalgae a sustainable future source of proteins and vitamins (MASSPROVIT)

The objective of MASSPROVIT project is to overcome these challenges by using mutagenesis and selection to improve growth and yield and to develop technology to improve bioaccessibility of proteins and vitamins.

PLANTCURD: Functional Plant Proteins for Cheese Curd

Milk production represents a significant contributor to green-house gas emissions and therefore there is an increased focus on producing food in a more sustainable fashion. PLANTCURD will address the challenge of…

Realizing the plant protein future: gentle seed deconstruction (Seedstruction)

Seedstruction aims to demonstrate the potential to extract seed storage proteins using a novel, enzymatic approach inspired by seed germination.

Give peas a chance: Selection of peas suitable for future plant-based foods (PEAS)

There is a growing need to replace animal protein with plant protein to make food production more sustainable. Plant-based alternatives are a major force behind this shift, but animal proteins have unique sensory and…
