He said the project is led by Lourdes Montevirgen of DOST- Industrial Technology Development Institute ITDI). Montevirgen’s team is “now exploring various methods to produce protein concentrate from industrial scale processing by-products like meal cake and bran,” he said.  “For the local legumes, the team will study specific unconventional sources,” he added.
