PL75-Dishes from the Mill/Dishes from the Mill

Development of an innovative technology for the production of gluten-free crockery from by-products of the milling industry as a substitute for plastics

Description

production of gluten-free crockery from milling by-products

Sector

A1.6Support activities to agriculture and post-harvest crop activities

Needs/ Problem statement

An excellent alternative to plastic vessels will be vessels made from by-products of the milling industry (bran, hulls, husks) of buckwheat, sorghum, and common millet seeds, which are fully biodegradable and decompose in the soil in about 30 days. These vessels will not contain gluten, thus contact with them will not be a threat to people suffering from food-related allergies. There is a lack of such products on the market.

Objective

The goal of the operation is to develop technology for manufacturing vessels from by-products of the milling industry derived from sorghum, buckwheat, and millet seeds.
