Important results from the project

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Objective Show how we can create a Swedish protein extraction plant to meet food producers´ needs for a Swedish-produced plant protein. Fulfillment Founded a market in rapid growth with a need for development. The market exists and suitable technology for extraction that meets needs and sustainability requirements are defined. First plant for fractioning is established and more in planning that will cover more than the Swedish needs. The survey has shown a greater need for a facility for texturing and flavoring, this part is missing in the value chain.
