- Oilseed proteins (canola, sunflower) for product formulation
- Starch- and sugar-rich side streams as fermentation inputs
- Prebiotic fibers from plant residues with high nutritional value
- Fruit & vegetable by-products rich in polyphenols and bioactive compounds for functional ingredients.
Key takeaways: Side streaming and waste valorization are no longer niche R&D efforts but strategic growth drivers. The right expert can turn many side streams into profitable, sustainable, and scalable business models.
