Enzyme-aided recovery methods' help in extracting protein from rapeseed press cake

One third of cold-pressed rapeseed press cake consists of nutritionally valuable protein that could have many other uses besides animal feed. For her doctoral dissertation, Katariina Rommi, Research Scientist at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd., developed enzyme-aided methods for rapeseed protein enrichment. Her study also provides estimates of the costs of different protein extraction schemes.
