Impact of protein, starch, and dietary fiber on functionality and protein matrix of faba bean and pea Texturized Vegetable Protein (TVP)
DownloadSpring 2024
Low moisture extrusion is a complex scalable technology that uses heat, pressure and shear to texturize plant proteins into extrudates called texturized vegetable proteins (TVP) used in the development of meat analogue products. Increasing interest in meat analogues and the rise of new sources of...

Enhanced Flotation of Ultramafic Nickel Ores Using Carbon Dioxide as a Flotation Gas and Sodium Tripolyphosphate as a Serpentine Depressant
DownloadSpring 2024
Challenges in the processing of minerals have been on the rise due to increasing low-grade ores which require to be finely ground to liberate valuable minerals. Low-grade ores like the ultramafic ores contain large amounts of gangue minerals which impacts recovery of the valuable pentlandite...
