Protein is a marvellous thing. While it is most commonly seen as fuel for gym enthusiasts, even adults not gunning for Chris Hemsworth biceps should consume around 50g daily, according to the NHS, and it is also essential for healthy ageing.
However, protein’s ability to repair and grow the body only scratches the surface of the nutrient’s potential.
Nandi Proteins is one of the companies exploring that potential. A market leader in developing natural, functional proteins for food manufacture, it is working on a diverse slate of projects, some of which limit artificial additives, while others improve shelf life or nutrition.
Founded by chief technology officer Dr Lydia Campbell, Nandi specialises in developing a platform technology which improves the functional properties of proteins in food manufacturing. As of 30th June, Frontier IP Group Plc (LON:FIPP) have a 21% holding in Nandi Proteins.
