Exploitation of the unique genetic variability of peas in the production of food and non-food ingredients

Objetivo

The current market situation for peas within the EU is strongly related to the world production of soybeans. More than 90% of the present EU production of peas is used in animal feed. Pea seeds are, however, very versatile. All their major constituents, i.e. Starch, protein and fibre, can be utilised in a range of addedvalue food and non-food products. The development of the pea crop as a source of raw materials would reduce imports and create a crop which can satisfy the requirements of EU states for both protein and starch. Moreover, by exploiting the unique genetic variability of peas the need for chemically modified ingredients may be reduced.

The main objectives of the proposed work are: production of functional ingredients for food and non-food applications in the EU Hereto a well-balanced consortium of leading European research centres and industrial partners is established. The industrial partners represent all steps in the chain (from primary production to end-user), this will ensure that the project will be directed as much as possible by industrial demands.

The research will involve the utilisation of novel pea genotypes which have seed components with a broad range of functional properties as well as an assessment of the agronomic and economic aspects of their production. Existing dry and wet fraction technologies will be adapted for fractionation of the seed components. Wherever possible the cheaper and more environmentally friendly dry separation technology will be preferred. Raw-materials and isolated fractions will be thoroughly characterised for their chemical, physical and functional properties. Novel and improved processing technologies, e.g. Thermoplastic processing of starches, will be developed to make the pea seed constituents applicable to a wide range of food and non-food applications.

The project will result in: components of the seeds properties and property/process/function relationships - novel and improved processing technologies, e.g. Thermoplastic processing of starch The project will benefit several sectors of the European Food and Non-Food industry (from the grower to the consumer). It will benefit the growers which are traditionally SME's as well as the consumer (higher quality, product diversification, replacement of chemically modified ingredients). The improved marketing potential of peas will also provide growing and processing facilities for economic weak parts of Europe. The cultivation of peas is relatively environment-friendly and the fractionation processes use no toxic solvents, whereas especially the dry separation process uses minimum energy.
