Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1

Saskatchewan Polytechnic

$24,750.00

Enhancing steady state processing of plant protein for the food industry

FY 2019-20

Summary
KeyLeaf (KL) is a leading authority on plant-based extracts and ingredients as products. KL and Saskatchewan Polytechnic (SP) are investigating how to take advantage of machine learning, NoSQL and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) to modernize and optimize KL's ingredient extraction process. The Engage phase of the project will commence in tandem with a MITACS grant of the same scope, involving building the database (DB) and user interface, determining how to best structure the data for analysis, designing the analytic algorithms, then testing the system and prepping for the next phase. This will produce a faster bioprocessing system for KL capable of identifying areas in its own processes that can be improved, thus increasing product quality.
