Are you ready to explore innovative opportunities for a more circular and bio-based food system?
This autumn, Food & Bio Cluster Denmark, as part of the BRILIAN project, will host a dynamic industry workshop in Denmark focused on the untapped potential of rapeseed cake, a byproduct with remarkable value for sustainable food innovation.

Why rapessed cake?

Each year, Denmark generates over 500,000 tons of rapeseed cake as a residue from rapeseed oil milling. While this co-product has traditionally been used in livestock feed and soil enrichment, recent research highlights its untapped potential for human nutrition and functional food development, thanks to its rich composition in:

Plant-based protein
Dietary fibre
Valuable micronutrients
Bioactive compounds with antioxidative properties

As the demand for sustainable and resilient food systems grows, repurposing rapeseed cake for human consumption offers a triple-win: reducing agri-food waste, promoting local bioeconomy models, and delivering nutritional benefits.

The BRILIAN Danish Pilot

The BRILIAN pilot in Denmark is led by @DLG Group, @Danish Technological Institute, @CHIMAR and @Food & Bio Cluster Denmark, and focuses on the extraction of plant-based proteins and additives from rapeseed cake for use in vegan foods and adhesives.

The process includes:

Biomass sourcing from farmers: BRILIAN is collaborating with farmers to supply two types of feedstock.This creates a direct link between primary producers and bio-based innovation.
Biorefining and protein extraction for each type of rapeseed cake: Cold-pressed and Hot-pressed.
Testing industrial applications by evaluating the extracted proteins as additives in adhesive formulations, exploring their functionality in non-food bio-based products.

Join us!

Don’t miss this event where BRILIAN aims to bring together businesses, researchers, investors and policy-makers to reimagine the future of this valuable resource.

Let’s co-create sustainable solutions and new market opportunities for rapeseed cake in the food industry!
