Researchers within the Canadian Pulse Protein Centre of Excellence coordinate collaborative pulse-protein research and engagement in the following areas:
- Evaluation of new pulse varieties with improved nutritional compositions and processing traits
- Low-cost disruptive technologies for sustainable pulse processing
- Protein-ingredient processing for enhanced nutrition, flavors and functionality
- AI-driven solutions for protein processing and product development
- Development of fortified nutrient-dense pulse-based foods for Canadian and global markets to address dietary protein deficiencies
- Co-product utilization, such as starch and fibre, to support the growth and sustainability of the pulse-protein sector
- Commercialization (industry adaptation and entrepreneurship)
- Public policy (supply chains, global trade, etc.)
- Knowledge transfer to the wider sector (farmers, industry, stakeholders and many others)
