R&D - Project
FOODWAL Ongoing
Stimulating Food Innovation in Wallonia
Peptiboost & Proteboost develop sustainable and industrializable approaches to produce and characterize bioactive peptides and proteins, improving the quality of food products.
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.
BIORELEACIDE Ongoing
Bio-based capsules for the controlled release of pesticides.
The main objective of the BIORELEACIDE project is the development of bio-based formulations with different controlled release rates of phytosanitary agents.
HALOTEX Ongoing
To be completed
Halophyte biorefinery for sustainable production of textiles, composites, and biochemicals.
UP PLASTICS Ongoing
Eco-design of circular plastic materials in the construction sector.
Create circular materials in the construction sector by valorizing waste from other industrial processes or by using renewable materials.
SUSAAN Completed
Development of antimicrobial and antiviral nano-coatings
The SUSAAN project is developing sustainable antimicrobial coatings for textiles and high-use surfaces, involving the textile, bathroom and switch sectors.
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.
