General information
- Short Summary
-
A french R&D laboratory, subsidiary of a cooperative group, would like to add value to some legumes and pulses seeds by obtaining a protein concentrate (protein content: around 50%).
They are looking for a factory that mechanically transforms legume flour into protein concentrate. The technology to be implemented must be that of dry fractionation - turboseparation - Full Description
-
The aim is to transform flour from various legumes, such as peas, lentils, chickpeas or other varieties, into protein concentrates that can be used in human food, for nutritional purposes for example.
The french company produces flours, powders, from pulses seeds such as pea, lentil or chickpea, and is looking for a partner able to transform flours into legumes and pulses protein concentrates.
The desired concentration process is purely mechanical, based on the dry fractionation -turboseparation of starch and (lighter) proteins, from the legume flour.
For extraction, they are not interested in chemical process, usually used for producing protein isolates (>80% proteins).
They will provide powders / flours made with peas or lentils and the partner will transform this flour into protein concentrate (about 50% protein).
The protein concentrate can be packed in big bags.
They are also interested in adding value to the starch-rich flours produced by the process. - Advantages and Innovations

- IPR description
-
Technology required : mechanical concentration by dry fractionation - turboseparation of legume flour to obtain a protein-rich flour (around 55% protein) and a starch-rich flour.
The desired concentration process is purely mechanical, based on the fractionation - turboseparation of starch and (lighter) proteins, from the legume flour.
For the legume protein extraction, they are not interested in chemical process, usually used for producing protein isolates (>80% proteins).
The protein concentrate can be packed in big bags.
Raw material : they provide legumes powder such as pea or lentils flours
Raw material volumes: about 0,5 – 1,5 T per batch, with several batch in a year
