Conversion of surplus cucumbers into valuable products
Bodec has extensive knowledge of the food industry and is an expert in the field of valorisation of fruit and vegetables. To select the optimal extraction technology for cucumbers, the company's chemists and food technologists evaluated a broad spectrum of available methods on lab scale. The primary goal of the project was the extraction of a specific component, however, Bodec also investigated the possibilities for valorisation of secondary residual streams like waste water and vegetable fibres from pulp and leaves. Finally potential customers were approached to discuss the possibilities.
This platform exists to inspire, connect and stimulate biobased initiatives within, with and outside horticulture. Our goal is to realize the most valuable possible use of vegetable residual flows. Get an overview, get inspiration, get in touch with experts, publish your own initiative(s) and attract potential business partners.
