The BiomassProtein™ product

Product properties for plant proteins are essential for both animal feed and food manufacturing companies, when it comes to capabilities and content.

There are several ways to extract proteins from fresh plants. Two of the methods are ‘fermentation’ and ‘heat’. Below please find a comparation of the product properties from the two methods:

BiomassProtein™ and soy has a similar amino acid profile, and is therefore a valid replacement for soy.

Producing soy is often criticized for (a) slashing the rainforest, (b) requiring too much water to grow and (c) huge and non-sustainable transportation cost.

BiomassProtein™ grass plant protein can be extracted locally (right next to where it is needed) and is therefore a sustainable source of plant protein.

Below please find a comparison of the amino acid profile of BiomassProtein™ grass plant protein and soy (reference: Santamaria-Fernandez et al. 2017):
