SUMMARY:The case for beans: Alternative Brazilian proteins for plant-based meats
DESCRIPTION:The case for beans: Alternative Brazilian proteins for plant-based meatsPast\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Dr. Caroline Mellinger\, Researcher at Embrapa\, to learn about her GFI-funded research to optimize the production of protein concentrates and isolates from common Brazilian beans for applications in plant-based meat production. \n\n\n\n	Share this page on Facebook\n	\n	Share on Facebook\n\n\n	Share this page on Twitter\n	\n	Share on X\n\n\n	Share this page on LinkedIn\n	\n	Share on LinkedIn\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCaroline Mellinger\, Ph.D.\n\n\n\nResearcher\, Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) \n\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar description\n\n\n\nBrazil is one of the largest grain producers in the world and has the potential to become a significant player in the production of vegetable proteins. In addition to soy and peas\, other legumes grown in Brazil\, such as chickpeas\, beans\, and lentils\, can provide affordable raw materials for the production of plant-based meat. In this presentation\, Dr. Mellinger will discuss how she optimizes the production of protein concentrates and isolates from common beans\, aiming for ingredients with good technological and nutritional attributes. She will also address the properties of these proteins compared to other vegetable protein sources. \n\n\n\nMeet the speaker\n\n\n\nCaroline Mellinger\, Ph.D.\, is a Researcher at the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) and has experience in biochemistry and the chemistry of macromolecules. Dr. Mellinger conducts research on the chemical characterization of polysaccharides\, proteins\, and peptides with potential biological and technological applications. Her work also focuses on evaluating the structural and functional behavior of macromolecules after simulation of human digestion. As a Researcher at Embrapa\, she currently studies alternative proteins for the plant-based market and the use of agro-industrial by-products and waste for the generation of new ingredients rich in protein and fiber. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nUpcoming events\n\n\n\nView all events\n\n\n\n\n	\n															\n								\n		\n									\n		\n			\n								\n							\n													October 13\, 2026\n											McNamara Alumni Center\n																	\n				\n				\n					Bridge2Food North America\n				\n				\n							\n				Join GFI at Bridge2Food North America\, where food industry leaders will gather to explore the latest developments in ingredient innovation… \n\n			\n								\n										\n								\n		\n									\n		\n			\n								\n							\n													October 13\, 2026\n											FAO Headquarters\n																	\n				\n				\n					World Food Forum 2026: Protein diversification for the Global South\n				\n				\n							\n				How can protein diversification strengthen food systems across the Global South?
