With these products, the project aims to increase the choices of plant-based protein products, to help consumers decrease their animal-protein intake.<\/p>\n<h3>The result<\/h3>\n<p>PROTEIN2FOOD has identified important genetic markers for protein production in the selected crops. This has resulted in the discovery of two quinoa varieties that have much higher protein content compared to other varieties, which could help <a href=\"https:\/\/www.innovationnewsnetwork.com\/would-you-season-food-with-cricket-powder\/2966\/\">enhance protein production in Europe<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The project developed environmentally friendly and resource efficient processing methods, such as aqueous processing to create new lentil, faba bean and lupin protein isolates, which were not previously available to the market. These processes involved fewer processing steps, consider side streams and increase ingredient yields.<\/p>\n<p>PROTEIN2FOOD also researched market conditions and socio-economic aspects of the protein crops, which showed that quinoa was the crop most suitable across 70% European arable land, followed by blue lupine (23%).<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Emanuele Zannini, scientific advisor on PROTEIN2FOOD and senior research coordinator at the University College of Cork, said: \u201cWe have developed new generations of nutritious food prototypes that are both respectful of natural resources, are tastier and more sustainable than alternatives already on the market. PROTEIN2FOOD has developed an impressive amount of knowledge that we look forward to sharing at the final conference\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The conference aims to bring together researchers, policy makers and industry representatives to showcase the project\u2019s results, discuss the opportunities and barriers of transitioning towards more high-quality, protein-rich plant-based foods and examine the policy tools and implications that can help Europe\u2019s protein transition stays on track.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The EU funded project PROTEIN2FOOD has successfully developed an environmentally friendly and resource efficient processing method for creating plant-based proteins.
