Technology to detoxify oilseeds / fruit seeds that contain cyanogenic glycosides to upcycle and making them edible and usable in the food industry for the first time

Millions of tons of oil seeds / fruit seeds, especially their protein-rich presscakes currently go to waste as they contain a too high amount of cyanogenic glycosides.

As these naturally present substances are toxic at a certain level of consumption, these seed(-presscakes) currently cannot enter the food industry and are as a result being disposed.

Kern Tec has developed a process to remove these cyanogenic substances and therefore detoxify the seeds which upcycles these raw materials from waste to superfood.

The results are food safe seed(-presscakes) as a processable protein-powder that can be used as ingredients in the food industry in various applications where plant based proteins are demanded.
