Project: LVVN project

Project Details

Description

The 3-year project will focus on assessing the production chain set-up which will be centred on a mobile starch/glucose
extraction factory (analogous to the Ebbens built Dadtco mobile cassava extraction factory). Replanting only takes place every
25 to 30 years therefore a mobile system is necessary for the next replanting area. The research will concentrate on
optimizing the extraction of starch followed by testing or developing applications: veneer glue with Profina and Tate & Lyle,
food starch application with Tate & Lyle, feed applications for insect with Bio Cycle, biobased packaging with PaperFoam and
Biotec, and eventually glucose fermentation applications. The other research aspects include estimating starch and glucose
content of trunk tops over the year and minimizing soil impacts including application of the fibrous residues containing most
of the nutrients.
