Research abstract
The opportunities we are pursuing are in the larger and more diverse animal/fish feed markets, where protein cost, amino acid balance, and digestibility are key drivers. Highly concentrated and purified protein ingredients are not necessary in these markets, and are too expensive due to 1) the aforementioned issues with processing costs and low protein yields. Our innovation is a simple, one-step microbial-based process to increase the protein content and digestibility of canola meal by converting fiber and carbohydrates into microbial protein, while also metabolizing glucosinolates and other anti-nutritional factors unique to canola meal
