R&D - Project

MycoStruct rgrgrgrgrg Ongoing

Large-scale development of a mycelium-derived protein structure.

Protewin Ongoing

The Walloon Innovation Ecosystem Dedicated to Alternative Proteins and Protein Transition

Protewin is a collaborative network advancing innovation and European engagement across Wallonia's alternative protein ecosystem.

Wearable Ongoing

Valorization of agricultural biomasses for bio-based and sustainable lubricant additives

The CORNET WearABLE project develops bio-based alternatives to anti-wear additives used in engine lubricants.

NITRIFREE Ongoing

New strategies for the sustainable stabilization of nitrite-free charcuterie products

NitriFree aims to develop nitrite-free meat products by combining natural antimicrobial ingredients extracted from plants and food co-products with high-pressure hydrostatic technology.

LIKE A PRO Ongoing

Alternative proteins, for everyone and everywhere

LIKE-A-PRO facilitates access to alternative proteins—plant-based, fermentation-derived, or cell-cultured—for a healthier, more sustainable, and tastier diet.

WAL’PROT Ongoing

Deployment of the plant-based and alternative protein sector in Wallonia.

WAL'PROT aims to valorize protein sources from crops, co-products, discarded plants, insects, and microalgae, via a cascading and multi-sectoral approach.

EXPLAINED Completed

Extrusion of insect and plant proteins: texturization and impact on digestibility.

Mealworms could be a key food source to prevent famine in a world with a constantly growing population.

PROTINNOV Completed

Innovative strategies for a rational design of vegetarian products

In response to growing consumer awareness in favour of healthier and more sustainable products, demand for plant-protein-based foods and beverages is rising sharply.

VALORBSY Completed

Brewery yeast valorized for nutritional ingredients as alternatives to animal proteins

The ValorBSY project aims for the sustainable valorization of residual yeast from craft breweries for the agri-food industry, combining collection technologies, targeted extraction, and the creation of new products.

Wallep Completed

Development of a new product range to benefit the spelt value chain in Wallonia

Funded by the Marshall Plan, the Wallep project is structuring a sustainable spelt value chain in Wallonia. The objective: to add value to this local cereal through short supply chains to ensure a stable income for farmers.
