pure, natural, and sustainable cold pressed canola and sunflower oils, and as the production levels increase the_x000D_
company is facing an increasing challenge of adding value to the protein-rich meal by-product. Developing_x000D_
value-added processing and applications of proteins from canola and sunflower cold pressed meals is important_x000D_
to increase the company competitiveness and be a step toward zero waste production._x000D_
The meals are good source of protein (30-50%) with 11S salt-soluble globulin and 2S water-soluble albumin as_x000D_
the major components. Traditionally, heating is applied in canola oil processing which damages the protein_x000D_
structures, leading to reduced solubility and unfavorable flavor and color. The cold press method causes much_x000D_
less alternation of protein native structures. This offers opportunity to develop protein ingredients of good_x000D_
solubility and functionality from the meals to target a wide range of food applications._x000D_
This is a new collaboration between Dr. Chen and the Pleasant Valley Oils Mills to develop functional proteins_x000D_
from cold-pressed canola and sunflower meals towards food applications. The specific objectives are to: 1)_x000D_
develop effective process to extract proteins from canola/sunflower cold-pressed meals; and 2) study the_x000D_
structures and functional properties of the extracted proteins._x000D_
The knowledge generated through this research will aid in development of strategies for extraction and_x000D_
utilization of canola and sunflower meal proteins. This research will also train one PDF and one graduate_x000D_
student in protein extraction and functionality study to meet the shortfall in food processing industry. Develop_x000D_
functional food ingredients from these proteins will significantly increase economic returns on crop_x000D_
components and enhance profitability and sustainability of oilseed producers and processors. The development_x000D_
of novel protein ingredients will support innovations of Canadian food industry., program purpose french : Pleasant Valley Oils Mills, a subsidiary of the Pleasant Valley Colony, has been producing and manufacturing_x000D_
