Infrastructure
We specialize in determining both the content and digestibility of protein and amino acids in foods, food ingredients and feeds, using both in vitro and in vivo assays. We can provide official in vivo measures of PDCAAS and PER for protein content claim substantiation. We have a Near Infrared Spectroscopy suite to measure the amino acid content of Canadian crops, and have established calibration equations for peas, lentils, canola, and soybean.
We utilized specialized housing systems to determine the impact of diet on egg quality, nutrient flow, and bird health as it relates to laying hens and sustainable egg production.

Protein Food Processing
We study the impact of processing on the protein quality of food/feed ingredients and whole crops. Our Protein Foods Innovation Team can assist you with exploring the impact of milling, protein fractionation, protein isolation, thermal and non-thermal processing technologies on the nutritional and techno functional properties of proteins.
Assessment of the Safety and Nutritional Value of Protein Foods
Determining the protein quality of ingredients and foods allows for the assessment of the potential to make protein content claims on finished food products. Our team has years of experience in determining protein quality and guiding industry stakeholders through regulatory pitfalls involved in substantiating protein content claims.

The Pulse Research Program at Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) investigates how the physical and chemical components of pulses affect the quality of pulses and the final products made from them. We study how grading, environmental, and genetic factors determine pulse quality and end-use functionality. We research methods for measuring and assessing pulse end-use quality and functionality. We also conduct the annual pulse and food-type soybean quality analysis for the CGC’s Harvest Sample Program and take part in cargo monitoring to support the marketability of Canadian pulses.
