Food Ingredients
Many food processing side streams contain large amounts of valuable proteins, suitable to be used in high-value application within the food, nutritional, and healthcare industries. The value associated to the protein product is determined by its functionality. Emulsifying effect, nutritional value and bio-functionality are examples of value adding properties that have been obtained by Upfront’s technology.
The protein sources suitable for food applications include animal origin, plant origin or microbial origin.
The food industry produces large volumes of protein rich side streams which require technology capable of handling large volumes in limited time just as Rhobust EBA.
The protein recovered by the Rhobust EBA technology benefit from purity above 95%, high solubility, and high-value functionalities depending on the source of protein.
Un-clarified crude feedstock can be loaded directly unto Rhobust EBA columns for protein recovery. The technology platform has no scale-up limitations and is thereby ideal for industrial scale implementation.

“This installation is a huge success, allowing us to extract previously inaccessible proteins from our waste stream, thereby opening up a previously untrapped source of revenue and enabling us to make major energy savings”.
