VIDA Awarded Project - ISV047 - Identification and use of specific plant-proteins to develop innovative and tasty convenience products

Value-added Innovation in fooD chAins (VIDA)
Innovative convenience products based on new sustainable proteins Duration: May 2020 / August 2020 Summary: CheWOW is a food company that aims develop and market innovative convenience products based on new sustainable proteins. Even though animal proteins are commonly used in the food industry, the demand for new protein-based foods has been steadily increasing worldwide. The ecological footprint of plant-proteins for example is a ca. 5-10 times smaller in terms of energy- und water use and requires about 80% less agricultural land compared to animal proteins. The aim of this project is to identify and use...

VIDA Awarded Project - ISV048 - Study FEM multifunctional toroidal turbine

Value-added Innovation in fooD chAins (VIDA)
Duration: 28 May 2020 / 28 July 2020 Summary: This innovation of the multifunctional toroidal turbine can be used to improve the food value chain. The problem is that the current hydraulic pumps to irrigate large and medium-sized food cultivation fields, consume a lot of electricity and have a very high purchase cost depending on the size of the water flow they have to pump. Moreover, the hydraulic turbines for the production of hydroelectric energy have very high costs and are in any case two different devices. The objectives and key results of these FEM and CFD studies are to demonstrate the operation and...

VIDA Awarded Project - ISV007 - Implementing remote water monitoring in Holland

Value-added Innovation in fooD chAins (VIDA)
Duration: 19 August 2019 / 09 December 2019 Summary: Nearly all industrial coffee machines, dishwashers, washing machines, ice machines etc. have water filters installed to soften water and avoid scale build up in the equipment. These filters need to be changed after a certain amount of water has been softened, depending on the water’s hardness and the type/size of filter. Service providers today often change them far too early, since no system exists for remotely monitoring the filters’ statuses. To solve this problem, the Flowplan Solution is making remote water monitoring in real time possible. This is...

VIDA Awarded Project - VV113 - Validation of novel protein source from fungal biomass

Value-added Innovation in fooD chAins (VIDA)
Duration: 19 November 2019 / 31 July 2020 Summary; The European agro-industry is under significant market, environmental, and legislative pressure to reduce its ecological footprint and in particular to find alternative protein sources to meet. To provide an innovative solution to this need MOGU is developing novel protein rich foods and ingredients using fungal fermentation. MOGU technology converts agro-industrial leftovers, such as brewers’ spent grain and yeast or pasta and bread scraps, into food products with improved nutritional values, in particular protein and vitamin content. Protein functionality...

VIDA Awarded Project - VV104 - Optimisation of water treatment using IoT

Value-added Innovation in fooD chAins (VIDA)
Duration: 7 August 2019 / 3 January 2020 Summary: Nearly all industrial coffee machines, dishwashers, washing machines, ice machines etc. have water filters installed to soften water and avoid scale build up in the equipment. These filters need to be changed after a certain amount of water has been softened, depending on the water’s hardness and the type/size of filter. Service providers today often change them far too early, since no system exists for remotely monitoring the filters’ statuses. To solve this problem, the Flowplan Solution is making remote water monitoring in real time possible. This is done...

VIDA Awarded Project - VV102 - Efficient Drying System as an innovation enabler of high value biorefineries. (Reduction of food waste and energy used to upcycle biomass)

Value-added Innovation in fooD chAins (VIDA)
Duration: 12 August 2019 / 12 February 2020 Summary: 9 billion kg of coffee are consumed annually, and 99% of it becomes waste. This brings huge environmental problems, since traditional methods to dispose this waste (i.e. landfilling & incineration) allow the waste to decompose and generate methane, a gas that is much worse than CO2. This is a shame since there is still a lot of value to be extracted from this resource. Kaffe Bueno is a biotech company using coffee’s by-product as a platform to produce ingredients for cosmetics, nutraceuticals and functional foods. We have developed a bio preservation...

VIDA Awarded Project - VV101 - The next generation plant-based meat analogues

Value-added Innovation in fooD chAins (VIDA)
Duration: 12 August 2019 / 12 February 2020 Summary; The high consumption of meat has detrimental consequences for planet earth. Clearly, meat consumption has to be reduced. A route to reduce meat consumption is based on the development of plant-based meat analogues. Plant Meat Makers develops the next generation plant-based meat products with remarkable taste and texture, based on the novel shear cell technology. For validation of the shear cell technology and the successfulness of the products made with this technology, the next step is to do consumer/customer validation of the products. Wageningen...

VIDA Awarded Project - ISV013 - Design draft of equipment for separation of micro and nano particles in the drying process using the new CASND processing technology

Value-added Innovation in fooD chAins (VIDA)
Atomizer dryer Duration: 18 September 2019 / 18 March 2020 Summary: DBH has developed a new Carbon Dioxide Assisted Spray Nebulization Drying Technology (CASND), that is capable to dry and nano/micronize thermolabile or biological active materials maintaining their native state or characteristics. The currently used spray drying technique operates at much higher temperatures (160⁰C at least) in comparison to CASND which operates at 45 – 60⁰C. Moreover, its features are better than lyophilization because it is a continuous operating technology. As the particular market segments (especially the cosmetic and...
