Quantitation of Nitrogen and Protein for Plant-Based Protein Production

Plantible Foods is a revolutionary food technology company that is developing a new agricultural platform for the production of plant-based protein using Lemna, also referred to as duckweed.

Plantible Foods acquired a rapid N exceed® nitrogen and protein analyzer produced by Elementar to gain access to the full potential of its production processes. The use of this instrument enables the faster, more accurate, and more efficient quantitation of protein and nitrogen, allowing the company to perform over 12,000 analyses annually.

As the Head of Research and Development at Plantible Foods, Dr Parker Lee explains, “We previously used Elementar and found the maintenance and ease of use of the instruments attractive.”

He continues, “The autosampler allows for continuous analysis of samples and the CO2 mobile phase is very cost-effective over traditional helium and argon systems.”
