Purdue receives grant for soy product research
WEST LAFAYETTE – Purdue University received a grant to build infrastructure and connectivity for small and medium-scale processing of soy-based products.
The United Soybean Board (USB) announced the award of $1.1 million to the Purdue University Food Entrepreneurship and Manufacturing Institute (FEMI), in partnership with the University of Arkansas and the University of Missouri.
The project is co-funded by the Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research, a federal organization that supports research activities focused on addressing key agriculture problems including plant health and production, agricultural economics and rural communities, and agricultural and food security.
The global demand for soy protein isolate/concentrate is expected to increase 80 times, while the global meat substitute market is expected to be worth $140 billion by 2029, according to a press release from Purdue. Increased soy production for renewable diesel production is expected to increase by 10% over the next three years.
