Working on several experiments as part of the Chair VITALE project, Laurent Bazinet<\/a>, Tristan Muller and Marie-\u00c9ve Bernier have developed a method for extracting this protein from the plant, which is a veritable factory, doubling its biomass in 24 hours.<\/p>\n

The main protein it produces is rubisco (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase\/oxygenase), a key protein in photosynthesis. “Its abundance partly explains why this plant is a veritable protein factory. Duckweed can double its biomass in 24 hours. I don’t know of any other plant that can match that,” says Professor Bazinet.<\/p>\n

The possibilities this opens up:
\n“On the one hand, they could be used as food ingredients, in the same way as soy proteins found in a host of foods. We could also exploit the functional properties of these proteins, notably their capacity as a foaming agent. Our experiments have shown that duckweed proteins have 10 times the foaming power of egg white,” sums up Laurent Bazinet.<\/p>\n

Our Inafian members are only just beginning their exploration of duckweed. We invite you to read the press release<\/a> in greater detail.<\/p>\n

Congratulations!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
