Hinoman introduces technology for protein cultivation

ISRAEL-BASED Hinoman, Ltd introduces a proprietary technology that will revolutionize farming of high-quality vegetables, paying attention to protein content and purity of the vegetable, the pace of growth, and the ability of technology users to raise these in any season.

The cultivation system utilizes closed-environment, yet economically competitive, advanced hydroponics technology to completely control and optimize plant growth. It ensures the plants are clean, uncontaminated and free from pesticides and other non-desired residues. The resulting vegetable exceeds food safety and food security requirements under the very strictest standards.

“We hope our high-tech technology can contribute not just to reducing global malnutrition challenges, but also toward how people will eat healthy, sustainable food in the future,” said Ron Salpeter, CEO for Hinoman. “It is exciting to lead the Hinoman team and help pave the way toward production of continuous, year-round and inexpensive whole vegetarian protein.”

The eco-friendly technology will help farmers sustain fresh food production and protein sources in the years to come. Global protein consumption is forecast to reach 943 million metric tons (MMT) by 2054, rising at a 8.6% CAGR from the current 473 MMT, according to Lux Research Inc. and Frost & Sullivan Inc. Whole protein sources (such as algae, insects and Hinoman’s new vegetable solution) must pick up the slack of slowing and unsustainable meat and seafood growth. These sources could claim as much as 33% of total protein supply by 2054.

“Hinoman’s revolutionary eco-green technology is effective on small, large or even industrial scales,” said Udi Alroy, VP of Business Development for Hinoman. “This new food-tech platform can be easily scaled up to meet both immediate and long-term demands. Decision makers in food companies must choose safe, careful and reliable suppliers, especially when it comes to clean, environmentally friendly protein sources. Hinoman offers a complete, innovative package for a highly nutritious, trusted and safe supply of this critical nutrient, at an affordable and stable cost.”

The company will present its product at the IFT15 Annual Meeting & Food Expo scheduled from 11-14 July 2015 in Chicago. See them at booth #471.
