Agenda

12:00 Welcome lunch

13:00 Food Pilot introduction – Opportunities of the collaborative project PILOTS

13:20 Case studies

  • Protein functionality of concentrates obtained via extraction by wet fractionation (yellow pea and blond lentil)
  • Protein functionality of drum-dried microbial biomass
  • Protein functionality of concentrates obtained via dry fractionation (yellow pea and blond lentil)
  • Fibre quality of drum-dried sugarbeet pulp and brewer’s spent grain

14:30 Coffee break – preparing for pilot plant visit

15:00 Demonstrations at the pilot plant

  • Live demo: Decanter centrifugation (fractionation of wet biomass for protein extraction): blond lentils will be milled, incubated in reaction vessels, and subsequently separated into a solid and liquid fraction.
  • Live demo: Extrusion (texturization): dry extrusion of a protein-rich yellow pea concentrate to create structured textures through combined pressure and thermal treatment. The concentrate used is obtained via dry fractionation (performed externally as a mild processing step).
  • Live demo: Drum dryer: thin layer drying on heated rolls. Beet pulp – a side stream from sugar extraction of sugar beet – will be used as demonstration material.
  • Visiting other pilot halls: lab-scale high moisture extrusion, lab-scale spray drying, protein bar processing line

16:30 Networking drink

16:30 Option to visit full pilot plant and laboratory: including UHT hall, fermenter hall, cell disruption techniques, bakery hall, sensory lab, protein functionality lab, etc.

17:30 End

The ProteInn Club Industrial Sounding Board Meeting

The ProteInn Club is a collaboration between Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant, Ghent University, the Flanders Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food (ILVO), and CAPTURE. The club’s ambition is to facilitate innovations and accelerate the development of a unique fermentation-based protein ecosystem. Members of the Industrial Sounding Board are positioned at various points within the value chain of fermentation-based proteins. On the one hand, there are companies developing fermentation processes, while on the other, there are companies producing side streams that can be used as feedstock for these processes, and companies interested in incorporating fermentation-based proteins into their end products. The overall goals of the club are to connect the partners along this value chain, foster the developing ecosystem, and raise awareness about fermentation-derived proteins. During this event, the core team of The ProteInn Club will link up with the full Industrial Sounding Board to discuss the latest developments in the fermentation-based protein landscape. Topics can include updates on ongoing projects, interesting upcoming funding calls, policy briefs, and the presentation of new ProteInn Club members. This is a private event. Attendance by invitation only.

Seeing is believing: Study Visit to the Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant

Hop on the shuttle bus to the Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant and discover what scale-up is and looks like! This visit is part of the “Scale -up & Growth” programme offered by the “Pilots4U powered by COPILOT” project and will comprise of a presentation and guided tour of the facilities. It will be co-organised by ShapingBio.
