Side stream valorization
Side stream valorization for the production of food ingredients and biomate
As raw materials become scarcer and sustainability grows in importance, side-stream valorization offers major opportunities. Many by-products traditionally seen as “waste” contain valuable components such as proteins, fibers, bioactive compounds, or functional ingredients.
At Bodec, we believe these streams hold untapped potential. We help companies transform their secondary streams into high-value ingredients or materials, turning waste into new business opportunities.
What we deliver
- Analysis & identification
We explore your process to identify available side streams and assess their potential. We analyse which components they contain and what valorization opportunities exist. - Process development & testing
In our lab and pilot facilities, we test suitable technologies, extraction, separation, concentration, drying, etc. We already have developed processes for protein recovery, fiber extraction, and the isolation of functional compounds from various plant-based residual streams. - Scaling & realization
Once the technology is validated at lab scale, we scale it up to pilot testing or in small productions. We transform rest streams into stable, market-ready ingredients or materials, without requiring heavy investments on your side.
Why Bodec
With over 30 years of process-technology and scale-up expertise, Bodec combines technical depth with practical execution. Our network of technology partners, research institutes and universities enables us to apply the latest extraction and separation technologies.

Side Stream Valorization
Turning Side Streams Into High-Value Ingredients
Bodec helps companies transform side streams into high-value food ingredients and biomaterials. With deep expertise in extraction, separation, concentration and drying technologies, we unlock new value from by-products, reduce waste and support the transition toward circular food production. As raw materials become scarcer, side stream valorization offers major opportunities: many residual streams contain proteins, fibers and bioactive compounds that can be turned into functional, market-ready ingredients.
We analyse your streams, identify valuable components and develop tailored processes in our lab and 450 m² pilot plant. From protein recovery and fiber extraction to isolating functional compounds, we validate the right technologies and scale them to pilot or small production runs; without requiring heavy investments on your side.
With more than 30 years of process-engineering and scale-up experience, Bodec combines practical execution with state-of-the-art technologies and modern data analysis tools. Our strong network of technology partners and research institutes ensures fast development, reliable results and scalable solutions that convert side streams into new business opportunities.
