The project contributes to financing part of a first-of-a-kind plant for the production of a novel prebiotic fibre ingredient for the food and beverage industry. The project finances the RDI and CAPEX to optimise, design, procure and integrate spray-drying technology in the plant, to produce the ingredient in dry-powder form. It will also finance RDI and CAPEX, to optimise the overall production technology and achieve a production output of 5,000 tonnes per year (plant de-bottlenecking).
