Today, we celebrate International Legume Day! Legumes are a protein-rich biomass, and at IMPROVE, we are proud to work on their valorization as part of our mission to develop alternative proteins. #legumes #protein #IMPROVE #valorization #sustainable

New month, new raw material! Today, we want to showcase the red bean. This raw material is a legume that grows on the plant Phaseolus vulgaris. Originally from Central and South America, this bean is now cultivated worldwide, including in the US, Argentina, Canada, and even China! But why is this legume so interesting for our diets? Red beans are high in protein, with an average of 22.5 g of protein per 100 g of dried beans. In addition to their protein content, red beans are also rich in fiber, averaging 15 g of fiber per 100 g of dried beans. Fiber helps regulate blood sugar levels by slowing glucose absorption and supports a healthy immune system. While rich in protein and fiber, this raw material is low in lipids, making it an excellent option for low-fat diets. When it comes to antioxidants, red beans also have many benefits, such as their anthocyanin content, which helps protect against cellular aging and certain diseases. In conclusion, red beans are an incredible source of protein and boast exceptional nutritional value. This makes them a fantastic option for meat alternatives, contributing to a balanced diet and an eco-friendlier future.

Showcasing Our At-Home Equipment! Today, we’re taking a closer look at one of our machines: the Vibration Round Screener VRS600 (Allgaier-Group®). This machine is designed to sort raw materials by separating the product into different particle sizes. Inside the machine, there are four different sieves, each serving to separate particles into four distinct size fractions. These sieves are powered by a circular vibration mechanism located at the bottom of the machine. This cutting-edge technology allows us to process from 50 to 100 kg/h of raw materials. It is suitable for processing both dry and wet products and can sort up to 4 fractions. The equipment is also capable of handling extremely small particles, with sieve sizes ranging from 100 µm up to 3 mm. Additionally, it can be used for the homogeneous division of lots. In conclusion, the Vibration Round Screener VRS600 is an invaluable tool in our sorting process. Its advanced technology enables us to efficiently and precisely handle large quantities of raw materials. #IMPROVE #valorisation #protein #plantbased #equipment #vibrationroundscreener

Innovation starts with raw materials, and fava beans are leading the way!   Fava beans, a legume from the Vicia faba plant, are widely cultivated across Europe, the Middle East, East Asia, Australia, Africa, and Latin America. These versatile legumes are typically harvested from late spring through summer, especially in July. But there’s more to fava beans—they offer numerous health benefits, such as: ✅ Rich in Protein: Fava beans have a high protein content with a well-balanced amino acid profile. ✅ Low Glycemic Index: This makes them an excellent choice for people with chronic conditions like diabetes. ✅ High in Fiber: They are a great source of dietary fiber, which promotes digestive health. ✅ Gluten-Free: This makes them a good alternative source of fiber for people with gluten intolerance. ✅ High in Antioxidants: These help maintain a strong immune system and overall health. ✅ Packed with Vitamins and Minerals: Fava beans are rich in magnesium, iron, zinc, and folate.          Historically, part of traditional diets in North and East Africa, Western and Eastern Asia, and the Middle East, fava beans have made their way into modern meals. Their functional and nutritional potential has earned them a place in plant-based food innovations. 💡 Beyond health, fava beans contribute to sustainable agriculture. They are often grown in crop rotation systems, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers and helping to maintain soil health by minimizing nutrient depletion, pest issues, and weed pressure.   In conclusion, fava beans are a high-quality plant-based protein source with incredible potential for use in food applications. Let’s celebrate this sustainable ingredient as we work toward healthier diets and a healthier planet! 🌍   Photo : amirmasoud on Unsplash #favabeans #protein #valorisation #IMPROVE #sustainability #rawmaterial

This Tuesday, December 3rd, our Alliance participated in Pitch Perfect the European Bioeconomy. An event organized by Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant in Brussels! The event featured intense cross-border and cross-sectoral pitching, matchmaking, and networking, aimed at connecting industry, innovators, and investors to advance biobased technologies and value chains in the bioeconomy. Julie Manesse was there to represented SAS IMPROVE , while Guillaume LE CLOIREC represented PIVERT. It was a great opportunity to listen to insightful talks on various topics and to connect with new people. #SASIMPROVE #SASPIVERT #ITERG #Alliance #Biochimistry #chimieverte #valorisation #protein #oilseed #biomass

We are proud to share our second presentation video of our Alliance with you today !   This second film features some testimonies from members of our three companies, providing a good representation of our experts and showcasing how we can collaborate.   Thanks to everyone for their commitment and participation in this video, and special thanks to Vincent Tesniere for the high-quality images.
