Hi everyone,
I'm a co-founder & CSO working in pulse protein R&D (faba, pea, lentil), focused on upstream genotype screening + enzymatic LOX/off-flavor control to reduce costly downstream deodorization and reprocessing.
We've developed a rapid screening protocol to identify high-protein, low-off-flavor raw material before processing, enabling cleaner downstream isolates and ingredients.
We're looking to connect with Ontario-based companies involved in:
-
pulse protein isolates/concentrates
-
ingredient processing/fractionation
-
extrusion/fermentation
-
flavor mitigation/de-odorization systems
Goal: define a scoped pilot project (screening → prototype ingredient → validation) for cleaner-label, low-off-flavor protein ingredients.
If you're active in pulse processing or ingredient manufacturing and open to a pilot collaboration, happy to connect directly.
