Reinventing food waste
I help to develop scalable and efficient processes for converting raw materials into high-value ingredients and products.
A lot of my focus has been on horticultural by-products from primary processing (seeds, peels, seconds) and I have worked with customers to determine the optimal end-products for their requirements and needs.
I enjoy collaborating with subject matter experts internally and across organisations to understand the potential of certain materials and how best to valorise them.
Notable contributions include managing multiple projects with Kabocha Innovation to develop high protein kabocha seed powder. As well as performing benchtop and pilot scale trials of OVĀVO's freeze dried avocado powder which has now launched.
