Oil extraction from Andean lupin beans (Lupinus mutabilis SWEET) via supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) was studied on both lab scale and pilot scale. On the lab scale, the effect of pressure, solvent-to-feed ratio (S/F), sample particle size and temperature on oil yield were evaluated. The oil quality …

In het BBI-JU-project LIBBIO hebben instellingen in heel Europa onderzoek gedaan naar de ideale groeiomstandigheden voor de Andeslupine in Europa. De Andes-lupine kan over het hele continent worden gekweekt. Voortgezet onderzoek verbeterde de opbrengst van het gewas en de weerstand tegen ziekten. Hoe …

In the BBI-JU project LIBBIO, institutions across Europe researched the development of the ideal Andean Lupin variant. Successful breeding programmes resulted in the variant COTOPAXI, which received European Breeder’s Rights within five years. Learn more about how this was achieved in this video.

Slotbijeenkomst LIBBIO (Lupinus mutabilis for Increased Biomass from marginal lands and value for BIOrefineries)

COTOPAXI is an ANDEAN lupin which has obtained Plant Breeder Rights by Vandinter Semo BV, the Netherlands. COTOPAXI is rich in protein (45%) and oils (20%). COTOPAXI will positively contribute to the plant-based protein transition in hte Netherlands and Europe.

Plant Breeders Rights were granted to Vandinter Semo BV on 29th December 2020 for the Andean Lupin variety COTOPAXI. COTOPAXI is result of cooperation between Vandinter Semo, Hanze University of Applied Sciences and the H2020 BBI-JU European research project LIBBIO. Andean Lupin (Lupinus mutabilis) has …
