We're excited to share that we've redesigned our website and it provides (we hope...) a clearer picture of what we're up to! Do visit (www.apparo.us) and let us know. www.apparo.us #sunflower #plantbased #plantprotein #plantingredients #upcycling #entrepreneurbusiness #ingredients

We're excited to announce our Joint Development Agreement with #Döhler GmbH. We're looking forward to working together to expand the applications of our Solistein sunflower isolate proteins! #sunflower #plantproteins #sustainability #upcycling

An interesting article on consumer's willingness to try novel protein sources from the folks at McKinsey & Company. Plant-based proteins were included only to provide a basis for comparison but: 1. Plant based proteins outscored all the other novel protein sources in the "willingness to try" categories by consumers - yes, all of them, even the relatively new barley protein scored 5 points higher! 2. "Sustainably Produced" was a key driver of consumers' willingness to try. Hence an Upcycled plant-based protein has a clear advantage (thanks Upcycled Food Association) 3. Short term, we must continue to develop new and exciting consumer friendly sources of plant-based proteins 4. Sunflower was too new to be included, but Apparo Inc.'s internal data shows that it would likely have scored in the middle of the plant-based pack! There is much to do, but novel better tasting and more functional sources of plant protein will have an immediate advantage in the marketplace since consumers are more willing to try them! #plantabased #plantprotein #upcycled https://lnkd.in/dhkv8tM7

Karl Greden (VP. Process Development) and Emily Weinand (Food Scientist), two members of our team, will be participating in the upcoming Plant Protein Innovation Center’s 5th Annual Research Spotlight Meeting on May 22nd and 23rd. They’re looking forward to learning new ideas as well as networking with others in the industry. Increasing the world’s food supply is core to our mission at Apparo Inc.. Please reach out to them!

Interesting paper published by the IFT on the Use of Underutilized and Biofortified Crops as one solution to help provide sustainable nutrition for the planet. Here at Apparo, we're still beating the drum that crops, such as sunflower oilseeds, provide a huge unrealized nutritional resource after the oil is extracted. Our patent-pending process extracts protein isolates & a concentrate as well as the nutritionally interesting polyphenols! #upcycled #plantprotein #foodscience #IFT #sunflower

Apparo is excited to be in the STARTUP Pavilion at the IFT FIRST Expo again this July. What to show? Please help us out below or make other suggestions! #IFTFIRST #StartupPavilion #Upcycled #plantprotein #tastingisbelieving

Sustainability is in our DNA (but no GMO!). Let's create more food from current crops! #expowest2024 #expowest #upcycled #sustainability #sustainanablefood #plantprotein #sunflower #protein #plantbasedprotein #plantbased

Lets talk long term outlook and what we can do now! #plantbased #plantbasedprotein #upcycled #sustainability #nutriton #totalcroputilization #tcu

We often get asked: What is Total Crop Utilization? It's at our core as a company and we put together a brief explanation on the video! I found out that I cannot attach a video plus a document so contact me for a copy of the graphics! #sustainablefood #upcycling #plantbasedfood #plantbasedprotein

Great review of the Top Trends for CPG Products by Innova Market Insights. We happen to hit the first five trends with our Solistein® Sunflower Proteins! #plantbased #proteins #plantbasedprotein #upcycled #upcycledcertified
