Problem
Current protein sources often result in significant caloric waste. Grain used as animal fodder could potentially provide nutrition for billions more people if consumed directly. Rapeseed, containing approximately 20% high-quality protein, remains largely untapped as a food component.
Solution
NapiFeryn BioTech has developed a patented technology to extract high-quality protein isolates from rapeseed, utilizing side-streams from oil pressing processes. This technology enables the retrieval of all protein contained in rapeseed, creating a sustainable food component. By upcycling rapeseed, NapiFeryn offers a plant-based protein source that reduces waste and increases the efficiency of protein production. The resulting protein isolates can be used in a variety of food applications, contributing to a more sustainable and efficient food system.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes food manufacturers seeking sustainable and plant-based protein ingredients, as well as consumers interested in environmentally friendly and nutritious food options.
