At SiccaDania, we are proud to participate in creating sustainable protein sources.
The demand for plant-based proteins and related technology is growing rapidly as consumers have become more healthy and environmentally conscious. This has also led to a rapid increase in the demand for animal-protein alternatives, meat replacements and other non-animal industrial ingredients. A change in culture, health and environmental consciousness beliefs have all combined to create favourable market conditions for a rise of plant-based protein.
Most plant-based protein sources are at an early stage of development and require continued innovation to succeed. SiccaDania can help within key areas of plant-based research that provide considerable opportunities for meaningful industry innovation across the value chain including sourcing, fractionation, processing, and distribution.
R&D investments in the sector seeking to maximise sustainable, reliable production of high-quality protein and fibres, include big data technologies, robotics and, more recently, blockchain technology for more secure and immediate transactions in the supply chain.
The ONE-IN-ALL-OUT concept focuses on the production of starch, proteins and fibre. This concept enables our esteemed business partners to:
- Extract starch and by-products from the various crops, i.e. potato, cassava, corn, wheat, pea, lentils, canola/rapeseed, faba beans, chickpeas, soy and quinoa, in the highest quality, efficient, competitive and sustainable manner
- Process the protein into food or feed quality, and part of the fibre can be processed into dietary fibre
- Incorporate a process water treatment system that minimises freshwater intake, produces disposable water and liquid fertiliser
- Optimise revenues in situations like increasing demand for raw materials in a growing industry, climate influences and problems with plant diseases
