Pulse processing at the Food Processing Development Centre

Looking to incorporate pulses into food products? Food scientists and researchers at the Food Processing Development Centre (FPDC) in Leduc are making their mark on the Alberta food industry by investigating applications for pulse ingredients.
Pulses include dry beans, dry peas, chickpeas and lentils. The FPDC’s research has translated pulse processing and extraction technologies into innovative pulse based products such as lentil licorice, macarons, burgers, meat analogues, protein powders, nutrition bars and savoury snack foods.

Seed Testing: Regulatory Cost or Competitive Advantage?

Video: Seed Testing: Regulatory Cost or Competitive Advantage?

Most seed companies see testing as a regulatory box to check.

But what if it’s actually one of your strongest competitive advantages?

In this conversation with Amanda Patin, North America Business Development Director for US Crop Science at SGS, we dig into what seed testing really reveals, far beyond germination and a lab report. From seed vigor and mechanical damage to stress performance and pathogen pressure, Patin explains how deeper testing can help companies differentiate their seed, protect value, and drive real return on investment.

If seed testing is something you only think about when you have to, this discussion might change how you see and use it.
