The Danish Agricultural Agency has recently partnered with a prominent global company, SPX Flow, to participate in the newly funded Green Development and Demonstration Program’s (GUDP) LinkingOat project. This ambitious collaboration aims to advance knowledge and technology in oat-based product development, a key focus area for SPX Flow.

  1. Key Objectives of the LinkingOat Project:
    • Advance knowledge and technology in oat-based product development
    • Support the development of healthier, more sustainable plant-based food systems
    • Unlock the full potential of oats as a high-value, functional plant-based ingredient

As part of this collaboration, SPX Flow will provide pilot-scale oat fractionation expertise to help obtain key oat fractions for further processing in downstream product testing. The company’s contributions will aid in the development of healthier, more sustainable plant-based food systems, aligning with its sustainability mantra, “Earth Day, Every Day.”

“This partnership represents a meaningful step in our ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability in the food and beverage industry,” said Pranav Shah, Global Market director at SPX FLOW. “We look forward to collaborating with leading researchers and industry players to unlock the full potential of oats as a high-value, functional plant-based ingredient.”

In addition to technical support and pilot production, SPX Flow will also provide knowledge-sharing support during lab-scale testing and participate in workshops, trials, knowledge development, and collaboration with other consortium members. The company’s involvement in the project will not only enhance oat-based product development but also promote the adoption of sustainable practices in the food industry.

According to Karin Loft Eybye, project manager, Danish Technological Institute, “We are excited to build a dynamic partnership with SPX FLOW, where we can combine our expertise with their technological capabilities.
