The Goals of the Solution

• The Goals of the Solution:

  The aim of the project solution is to find optimal way of oil cakes processing – the project will be focused on processing of qualitatively different varieties of oil flax, hemp, holy thistle and oil pumpkin. The project will be focused on processing of the cakes on protein concentrates, meals and fractions fortified by proteins, fibre and essential natural products with positive effects on human health. The obtained concentrates, meals and fractions will be analyse for their compositions including essential product with benefit for the human health, characterization of protein profiles and functional features, optimization of their stability and summary data with relationship to the qualitative and quantitative cultivar variability of proteins presented presented in flax and hemp seeds.
