Specification |
‘Protein concentrate from Lemna gibba and Lemna minor |
Description/Definition: The novel food is a protein concentrate produced from the Lemna gibba (70–100 %) and Lemna minor (0–30 %) plant species. The manufacturing process of the protein concentrate involves mechanical separation of the protein fraction from insoluble fibres, followed by precipitation under acidic conditions, pasteurisation and spray drying. The cultivation is carried out in basins in greenhouses under controlled conditions. The water used for the cultivation is filtered and UV-treated. The cultivation conditions are monitored to control the growth of algae, yeast and fungi. The pH is maintained between 5,5 and 6,5. Characteristics/composition: Appearance: green powder Moisture: 1,5-8 % Protein (Nx6,25): 60-75 % Ash: 4-12 % Fat: 2-11 % Fibre: 6-17 % Ash: 4-12 % Vitamins: β-Carotene: < 755 mg/kg Vitamin K1 (Phylloquinone): < 16 mg/100 g Minerals: Boron: < 10 mg/kg Copper: < 12 mg/kg Molybdenum: < 40 mg/kg Iron: < 670 mg/kg Zinc: < 50 mg/kg Manganese: < 100 mg/kg Antinutritional factors: Oxalic acid: < 1 900 mg/kg Heavy metals: Lead (mg/kg): ≤ 0,3 Cadmium (mg/kg): ≤ 0,2 Mercury (mg/kg): ≤ 0,1 Arsenic (mg/kg): ≤ 0,2 Cyanotoxins: Microcystins-/Nodularin: < 0,19 mg/kg Other contaminants: Lysino-alanine (bound): < 500 mg/kg Lysino-alanine (free): < 10 mg/kg Nitrate: < 3 000 mg/kg Pesticides: Pesticide levels in accordance with Code number 0254000 (“Subgroup (d) watercresses” in the group of Leaf vegetables, herbs and edible flowers) set out in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
