The Challenge

Protein extraction is highly inefficient

The traditional extraction processes for protein crops typically over-emphasize quantity, resulting in inconsistent product quality. Millers often overlook that varieties can have vastly different biochemical profiles. Ignoring these profiles typically causes suboptimal protein output and inefficient processing – meaning that businesses are wasting resources and lowering their margins.

Until now, tools to help processors and understand each variety have been quite basic, so processors have sacrificed their ability to realize their grain’s full potential. They have struggled to optimize protein extraction and their profits and have also reached impasses in reigning in costs.

Equinom & Hosokawa Alpine: Pioneering Sustainable Protein Solutions

Equinom is excited to partner with Hosokawa Alpine, combining our AI expertise and innovative MANNA platform with their advanced processing knowledge and state-of-the-art test facilities. This collaboration enables the development of precise AI models that optimize machinery setpoints based on grain biochemical parameters, validated through on-site trials at Hosokawa's facility.

A core strength of the MANNA for Protein platform is its extensive dataset of over 500 yellow pea varieties and breeding lines, enabling highly accurate grain grading predictions focused on protein yield and processing throughput derived from biochemical and biophysical characteristics. We have developed a predictive model for processing efficiency based on lab-scale trials and are scaling this capability further through pilot trials at Hosokawa’s facility, driving continued innovation in plant-based protein processing. Together, we deliver tailored solutions to customers, including those with active processing sites and new facilities, enhancing operational efficiency.

A key feature of MANNA for Protein is our AI-driven grading tool, helping customers make informed grain purchasing decisions by identifying the most efficient yellow pea varieties. This boosts processing yields by 2-3%, improving profitability and sustainability across the value chain.

Manna™ AI: Extract protein with precision

Manna for Protein leverages the full power of genetics and biochemistry to boost your plant-protein business. At its core is the proprietary Equinom database of protein varieties. This comprehensive repository correlates thousands of DNA and biochemical data point switch each grain’s protein content, grading, performance during milling, function in foods and other essential properties.

Manna for Protein AI uses this distinct intelligence to deliver actionable insights that far surpass conventional industry analyses. With Manna for Protein, you can make informed decisions in real time and calibrate your machinery to enhance protein output or optimize protein purity. You can achieve these goals while boosting extraction efficiency, increasing production capacity and minimizing processing costs.

Manna helps you grade grains and characterize batches to drive smarter decisions across your value chain. With Manna insights, you can implement better sourcing strategies and proactively manage inherent batch variability.

These game-changing Manna tools empower you to find the most effective varieties to use based on your product objectives. These decisions can translate into higher milling yields, new levels of efficiency and sustainable processes that lower energy consumption.
