With the “rescued ingredients” trend ripe for industry-wide adoption, this untapped resource is presented as the focus of a new business venture led by Danish biotech company Lihme Protein Solutions and Duynie Group, a Dutch upcycling specialist.The partnership envisions that proteins sourced from potato starch side streams will be “highly coveted” for their climate-positive and animal welfare credentials.“This partnership brings expertise, experience and entrepreneurship together,” says Robbert van Breda, chief new business offer at Duynie Group.“It’s an important step towards the large-scale production of the next generation functional proteins from plants, without compromising on taste and quality.”
