Advancing the protein shift using chickpea protein for the people and the planet

Important results from the project

The purpose of our project was to address the need for improved sensory and texture properties in plant-based products by developing a high-quality chickpea protein isolate. Objectives: Research and Literature Review: Our objective was to conduct comprehensive research and literature review on the extraction process of chickpea protein isolate. Optimization of Extraction Process: We aimed to optimize the extraction process to obtain high-quality chickpea protein isolate. Validation with Customers: Our objective was to validate the labscale samples with potential customers.

Expected long term effects

Research and Literature Review We successfully conducted extensive research and literature review on the extraction process of chickpea protein isolate. Optimization of Extraction Process Through our dedicated efforts, we achieved the goal of optimizing the extraction process. This resulted in the production of high-quality chickpea protein isolate. Validation with Customers We aimed to validate the labscale samples with potential customers. We engaged with a diverse range of customers and received positive feedback and interest in our product.

Approach and implementation

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Throughout the project, we executed a well-structured plan to achieve our goals. Our research and literature review on chickpea protein isolate extraction provided valuable insights. We optimized the process, surpassing industry benchmarks in purity, functionality, and sensory attributes. Collaborations with companies of various sizes resulted in letters of intent, affirming market demand. The upcoming pilot production phase in September aims to validate our product with customers.
