Development of high quality grass-protein foods, HQProtein
We will realise the transition of legume grass proteins into ingredients with high functionality and nutritional value. A special technology will be used to give higher protein quality. The ingredients will be used in a plant-based ice cream with high protein availability and excellent taste experience.
The project will optimize the production of legume grass protein ingredients and ensure that they are compatible and functional in food matrices and do not compromise quality. The investigation includes: 1) extracting the edible proteins from legume grass plants, 2) identifying functional and nutritional properties, 3) developing legume grass protein-based products and 4) proving commercial viability by a consumer survey. The goal is legume grass protein ingredients and legume grass protein products ready for commercialization. Vibeke Orlien, project leader, says: “For society, such high-quality protein products will offer a sustainable nutrition and will support the green transition.” The project will also contribute to lower greenhouse gases and support biodiversity.
