Funded Activity Summary

Purification and bioactivity of legume protein as nutritional supplements . Lupin seed is a major Australian high protein legume crop, undervalued at only ~$200 tonne due to its use as an animal feed. However this project aims to add value to the crop by designing a scalable food-grade and commercialisable technology to purify the protein gamma-conglutin from lupin seed waste as a nutraceutical for human blood glucose control. The process optimisation and mechanism of action for gamma-conglutin will be informed by proteomic analysis and cellular studies. From the project farmers may benefit through adding a premium to their crop value, a new gamma-conglutin purification technology will be available for processors to commercialise and consumers will have a natural product to help their blood glucose control.
