Project title: 'GalgaGabona project: improvements in food safety, agrotechnology, processing technology and nutritional value to improve the conditions for the use of oats and rye for human consumption'
Amount of aid contracted: HUF 125 003 814
Rate of aid (in %): 69,5 %
Presentation of the project content:
The GalgaGabona project will implement an R&D programme to support the use of rye and oats for human consumption. Cereal grains, especially in the mid-grain layers, contain many health-promoting components, fibres, lipids, vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, etc. Their quantity and quality in food depends on the species, varieties, growing conditions, milling and food processing operations. The management of food safety risks (mycotoxins, spoilage, IBS, gluten sensitivity) is a prerequisite for the production of safe food. The strategic role of wheat is undisputed, but other cereals, such as rye and oats, can exceed wheat in terms of agrotechnical quality, nutritional value and health-promoting components. Our development programme covers all aspects of the two cereals' product trajectories (variety selection, agrotechnology, milling and baking products and technologies, food safety, related basic and applied research). In particular, we will focus on three food safety and quality risks in a new approach. We plan to develop a heat treatment technology to improve the stability of grind quality. Reduction of irritable bowel syndrome (FODMAP) triggers is possible by improving product manufacturing technology. For oats, our programme to develop a wheat-free vertical includes a selection programme and the development of an audited trajectory model based on this. The implementation was undertaken by a consortium of partners with expertise in the relevant fields - First Pesti Mill Zrt (leader), Galga-Agrár Kft, F&R Partner Sütőipari Kft and BME-ABÉT. Our results can contribute to the expansion of the range of cereal-based products rich in health-promoting ingredients, boost related breeding, seed production and agrotechnical developments and significantly improve food safety conditions.
