What does Day 8 do?
Day 8 is specializing in the extraction of Rubisco protein from discarded agricultural leaves, transforming agricultural waste into a sustainable, high-quality protein source. By upcycling biomass that would otherwise be discarded, Day 8 enhances the efficiency of the agriculture industry and provides food manufacturers with an essential sustainable ingredient. Their process yields a taste-neutral, off-white protein powder that is not classified as an allergen, boasts high digestibility, and offers superior functional properties such as foaming, gelling, solubility, and emulsification.
