Soy Research Receives Support
September 12, 2006
Four OAC research projects have been awarded more than $100,000 from the University of Guelph's Hannam Soybean Utlization Fund to investigate new ways of using soy.
The utilization fund is a $1-million, 10-year initiative created in 2000 by the co-founder of First Line Seeds, Peter Hannam, and his family. Funding is awarded each year to researchers who are tapping into the many beneficial properties of soybeans, one of Canada's most popular commodities.
Prof. Peter Pauls, Plant Agriculture, is receiving support for a new project exploring the potential of soybean protein as a raw material for biofibre production. The other three projects - all based in the Department of Food Science - are building on previous support from the fund.
