Leaf protein is an edible protein found in plant leaves. Its core component, Rubisco, is the most abundant protein on the planet and contains all essential amino acids, making it a naturally complete protein.
It is not only a high‑quality protein source but also a promising direction for future plant‑based proteins. Yet its industrial pathway has never been established.
Leaf protein extraction is not without research—it has simply never been industrialised. Research has long remained at the process level.
For over half a century, research pathways have been confined to equipment and process optimisation, with extraction research consistently framed as a “process optimisation” problem.
The literature has been disproportionately focused on extraction yield and parameter optimisation, while fundamental research on the release mechanism of leaf protein has been virtually absent.
Return to the starting point. Build a Δt‑enabled test platform. Re‑examine leaf protein release mechanisms from the ground up.
Introducing Δt establishes a new principle for experimentation—one that, for the first time, allows leaf protein release to be studied as a time‑dependent physical process, rather than as a mere process outcome.
Replacing the experimental pathway — opening an observation window at the physical‑structure level to validate the effectiveness of Δt, making release mechanisms observable, describable, and quantifiable, and providing foundational data for kinetic equations and engineering models.
We work with universities, research institutes, and industry partners to advance leaf‑protein release‑mechanism research and build the Δt‑enabled test platform.
We are seeking:
R&D partners — to co‑develop Δt‑based experimental devices for release‑mechanism studies and kinetic modeling, involving mechanics, mathematics, sensing, optics, and AI.
Application partners — to validate leaf‑protein applications in food, feed, and related sectors.
Scale‑up partners — to transfer platform data and results into pilot‑scale and industrial production lines.
Starting with the Δt‑enabled test platform, we will establish a verifiable release‑mechanism model and explore its potential to be translated into a replicable, transferable industrial extraction pathway.
