  1. Soy Protein Separation Technology~What’s old, What’s new, What’s next~ November 8, 2005 Hosted by Soy 20/20

  2. Agenda • Introductions • About Soy 20/20 • Why are we here? • What’s old? • Where do we want to go? • What’ happening? (take it away, researchers) • What’s needed? (take it away, industry) • Lunch • Moving forward

  3. Soy 20/20 • …stimulate and seize new opportunities for Canadian soybeans • Improve profitability for soybean growers • Increase value-added processing of Canadian soybeans in Canada Industry Federal Government Soy 20/20 Provincial Government Academia

  4. The Soybean “Factory”

  5. Handlers Protein Processing Gap Manufacturers Farmers Distribution Researchers Consumers Canadian Soy Protein Gap • Increased use of soy protein as an ingredient = ~$11-25 million market (est.) • The demand is being met by US firms starting with commodity soybeans

  6. Why Fill the Gap? • Capture the value of our soybean system • We are recognized for our ability to grow and manage specialty beans (identity preservation) but we do not have the capacity now to process them into products • Capture value of soybean improvements • We can breed better beans, but we need the capacity to process and the technology to ensure the benefits are retained • Move our industry up the value chain • Farmers and primary handlers/processors can be more sustainable if we can add value domestically buy selling components and ingredients instead of soybeans

  7. BUT….. • We need to be DIFFERENT • Cannot compete in a commodity market with the big players

  8. Differentiating • We need to look at varying: • Inputs • Processing • End product traits What is needed?  market + What can we do?  technology = What should we do next? opportunity Combination

  9. Opportunities? • Build new markets based on: Cost Function Region Category -nearness to markets -nearness to beans -recovery efficiency -protein integrity -applications -purity, quality -improve access -Canadian reputation -natural, organic, nutritional -sell the story

  10. Participants ? Soy Industry Research Market Needs? Technical Abilities? Real Opportunities?

  11. Purpose of this session • Identify protein separation technologiesthat might offer Canadian companies a unique competitive advantage • Identify who wants to run • Identify howto move forward Financing Commercializing Novel Processing Ideas Planning Marketing Profiting Partnering

  12. Industry interest • Companies in soy are looking for opportunities • 6+ are here today • There is support for value-added in agriculture • If all the pieces of the puzzle come together • Can it begin with technology research? Need dialogue!

  13. Okay….now what? What’s old? What’s happening? What’s next?

  14. What’s Old? Process. • Begin with commodity, de-fatted soybean flakes (hexane extracted) • Multiple steps • Allows for variability in end product characteristics • Commercially established

  15. What’s Old? Issues. • The process can: • denature proteins, • produce ash, lysoalanines, and phytates, • be considered “harsh”. • Doesn’t use different feedstocks • There are protein losses, and resultant functional detractions We need to be different!

  16. Where do we want to go? • Start with different feedstocks? • Derived from specialty, non-commodity beans • Full fat soy flour, partially de-fatted soy flour • Produce different outputs? • Protein functionality, less ash • Image (market cache, organic) • Improve efficiency? • Less protein loss • Lower costs of development and operation

  17. Where do we want to go? • Separation of protein sub-units ? • 7s and 11s • Applicability to other grains, oilseeds? • White beans, oats, okara • ….or maybe…

  18. What’s happening now? • Extraction • Supercritical fluid • Bi-polar electro-acidification • Membrane • Ultra-filtration • Reverse osmosis • Ion-exchange • Electrodialysis • Fluidized beds • Fluid particle • Centrifugation Combination technologies

  19. Technology Represented • Western – circulating fludized beds • Waterloo –super critical fluidizationn, others • Toronto - various • AAFC, Guelph - various • AAFC, St-Hyacinthe – ultrafiltration, various others • Dalhousie – floc floatation, expanded bed adsoprtion • Laval – bio-polar membrane electroacidification • McGill - various • NYSA Membranes (McMaster derived) - membrane • Tiancheng Chempharm • Oleanergie F2001

  20. Let’s Talk! • What do we need? • What can we do? • Who can be involved? • How do we move forward? • What next?
