Objective
Green Spot Technologies has developed an innovative solid-state fermentation (SSF) process that converts large amounts of fruit and vegetable side-streams from the food processing industry into high value-added ingredients.These ingredients are high in dietary fibre and complete protein, low in fat and sugar, free from gluten, lactose and GMOs, and rich in vitamins, essential minerals, fatty acids and beta-glucan prebiotics.Crucially, ours is the first SSF process that allows for cost-effective upscaling and automation.In the past 4 years, GST has developed this technology up to TRL 6. We were able to scale-up our production of different flours up to dozens of kg/week, which allowed real consumer trials during the seed fund period. Our value proposition has raised the interest of several large food manufacturing companies, such as Nestl.GSTs Fl'Our Planet project supports the EUs Green Deal goal of accelerating the transition to a sustainable food system (Farm 2 Fork strategy).
