Recently, Under Secretary Gooden visited Westbrook Horse Farm, founded by Brian Westbrook, retired NFL running back, who, through a partnership between the Brian Westbrook Foundation and Data Science Camp, Inc., hosted a hands-on, immersive summer program for the high school students to build familiarity and competence with the approaches, tools, and analytical techniques relevant to harnessing the power of open data in agriculture, energy, and athletics. Under Secretary Gooden was present to showcase USDA’s commitment to developing and empowering the next generation of agricultural leaders and to motivate participants to consider pursuing careers in the agriculture, food, and natural resources systems.

Everyone has been asking for it since we founded Hooked in 2019 and now we are so proud to be the first one in the industry to share our findings. There has been concern of the digestibility of so-called 'Ultra processed' food along the way for most Alt protein companies in the industry. Questions from consumers like 'how much protein is actually bio-available for me even you claim 20g protein/100g on the nutrition table' remained a puzzle and kept haunting us. We were anxious to find out and very excited to collaborate with Lund University for Akkelien Jansen and Gabriella Heurlin to do their master thesis with Hooked. To be honest, I was quite nervous before the first digestibility data came out, nobody had done this before and what if it's really low? The results turned out to be overwhelmingly good, our plant-based tuna processed via high moisture extrusion (HME) could yield 76-77% of digestibility while real canned tuna is 84%. Worthy mentioning this is not only applicable for plant based seafood, physically any Alt protein products such as plant based chicken, cheese, sausage, snacks etc. that went thru similar process such as TVP, HME, fiber spinning and shear cell technology could take our findings as a soundable reference and do a DIY test on this rail. I am very glad to be Gabi and Akkelien's industry supervisor for this project and am impressed by their perseverance and endeavor put into it. Below is the full article for everyone to access and congratulations for their successful thesis defense and graduation. https://lnkd.in/dXBvQr2j
