Bunge buys Saskatoon canola protein developer

A Saskatoon company developing canola protein ingredients for the feed sector, with an eye on the food and cosmetics markets, is the newest subsidiary of US agrifood giant Bunge. Bunge announced Wednesday it has bought the assets and patents of privately-held MCN BioProducts for an undisclosed sum.

Those assets include MCN's processes for converting de-oiled canola and rapeseed meals into "nutritionally dense protein concentrates" as potential replacements for fish meal and/or other vegetable protein concentrates in pet, livestock and aquaculture diets. The products MCN had been moving toward commercialisation include CanPro IP insoluble protein concentrate, CanPro SP soluble protein concentrate, CanPro FP fiber protein and CanSugar, a soluble sugar concentrate.
