Protein extraction and purification

ICL Innovation seeks new protein extraction and purification technologies, where the proteins are derived from natural sources such as legume (e.g. soya and peas), whey, algae, etc. and where the sources are allowed by regulation to be consumed in food

Background: 

ICL's business unit "Food Specialties" produces and sells phosphate specialties, chopping or brine additives, emulsifying salts and leavening acids, and a big variety of complex blends of various ingredients to the food processing industry. Our expertise is to create synergistic effects for our customers. Our products provide indispensable functions to the processing industry. They e.g. act as emulsion and color stabilizers, maturing agents, texture and taste improvers, freshness retainer, etc.  We are mainly serving the following industries: meat, poultry, seafood, dairy, bakery, noodle and beverages. 

 Our criteria

• Cost- the competitive food additives market cannot accept high increases in cost. 
• Functionality- clear improvement should be evident in comparison with existing solutions. 
• Compliance with food grade regulatory requirements
