Reference number : GC-2017-Q2-00126, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Méthot, Nathalie (La Cité collégiale), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Ontario, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for Colleges, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les collèges, program purpose english : Valley Bio Limited aims to validate and optimize their existing grain and seed sanitization technology in order to maximize the_x000D_
processes efficiency, all while minimizing potential downstream negative effects to grain and seed storage. Microorganism_x000D_
contamination, being one of the main factors to seed spoilage, can be significantly reduced when the seed and grain is treated properly prior to storage thus leading to a higher grain quality with reduced loss of revenue._x000D_
The main objective of this collaboration is to support Valley Bio Limited in determining the effects of their dissolved ozone_x000D_
treatment on hempseed oxidation (i.e. is it accelerated), and furthermore correlating that the process decreases microbial counts._x000D_
The Technology Access Centre in Bio-Innovation will also help Valley Bio Ltd. to further develop their method by optimizing_x000D_
specific parameters and validating the downstream effects._x000D_
The role of the Technology Access Centre in Bio-Innovation will be to support Valley Bio Limited in determining any effects to_x000D_
hempseed following seed coat treatment with dissolved ozone. They will also collaborate and apply technical modifications to the process, that might make the technology more efficient._x000D_
The outcome of this partnership will help put in place affordable industry standards for hemp seed sanitization. The aim is to make this technology easily transferrable to other agricultural sectors such as grains and nuts, thus leading to a more profitable Canadian economy., program purpose french : Valley Bio Limited aims to validate and optimize their existing grain and seed sanitization technology in order to maximize the_x000D_
