IPAP has begun funding a series of research projects at major universities. We believe these studies will play a critical role in the refinement of variety choices by farmers and grain buyers, this research can provide clues to solving various food processing problems and preferences. Initial tests are being conducted on several soybean varieties.
These tests are focused on identifying the key attributes of the most popular varieties of soybeans for tofu manufacturing, and comparing these attributes to higher yielding varieties. Further research can be done on grains to maximize specific grain characteristics important to the needs of processors. IPAP is also currently conducting yield trials on proprietary varieties of soybeans with high protein contents and superior tofu production characteristics.
If your food processing or manufacturing process depends on certain qualities to maximize production or product output, IPAP can find or create varieties of grain to specifically fill your needs, have our farmers grow the grain, and provide delivery preserving the identity of the value-added grain.
