RESEARCH
AREAS

The R&I activity is developed thanks to the structures and technical equipment of Cereal Docks Group Lab. This way it is possible to do research and innovation applied to processes and products in close synergy with other company functions, in particular production. This model enables effective assessment of the real impact of research in terms of business applicability, consolidation, and expansion.
The R&I Department includes a multi-disciplinary team of experts in several disciplines, not just scientific but also humanistic/economic, such as surveys of markets and user needs. This further promotes creation of collaborative networks both inside and outside the Group.
WHY A RESEARCH & INNOVATION DEPARTMENT?

In an increasingly more complex, rapidly changing world, Research & Innovation represents the “auxiliary motor of the Cereal Docks Group” accelerating towards tomorrow.

WHERE DO WE WANT TO GO?

The guiding star of Research & Innovation activities consists in “contributing to the growth of the Cereal Docks Group towards the nutrition and wellness sectors linked to food; in order to become one of the European leaders in the human and animal food and nutrition, sustainability and circular economy areas.”

WHAT DOES THE RESEARCH & INNOVATION DEPARTMENT DO?

In the Cereal Docks Group, the Research & Innovation Department, together with all Group activities and departments, handles the “development of new businesses for Cereal Docks identifying new value creation areas and contribution to significantly innovating internal processes, going beyond ongoing improvement.“

Botanicals

In nature there are infinite answers to the demand for the well-being and health of people, animals and the planet. Thanks to scientific research and biotechnologies, it is now possible to sustainably produce natural molecules for a high added value, to be used as ingredients in cosmetics, nutraceuticals, the pharmaceutical sector.
The biotechnological platform CROP® (Controlled Release of Optimized Plants) developed by a Group company, Aethera Biotech, enables the development and production of high title phytocomplexes from plant-based cultures in vitro, that respond to the advanced needs of the botanicals market, especially the cosmetics industry and nutraceuticals.

MAIN PRINCIPLES FROM PLANT-BASED CULTURES IN VITRO

This technology offers numerous benefits: the process guarantees the total absence of environmental contaminants such as pesticides, fertilizers, heavy metals and aflatoxins, as the culture is created in a protected, controlled environment; the unlimited and concentrated availability of biologically active natural substances, standardisation, quality, and purity.
This technology fully responds to the demand for products conceived for green purposes, seeing that the production process excludes consumption of soil and reduces water consumption by 3 size levels, fully respecting biodiversity.

ADVANTAGES OF THE
BIOTECH CROP® PLATFORM

FOR THE CONSUMER

  • The process guarantees the total absence of environmental contaminants such as pesticides, fertilizers, heavy metals and aflatoxins, as the culture is created in a protected, controlled environment
  • The unlimited and concentrated availability of biologically active
  • Natural substances, standardisation, quality, and purity

FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

  • Dramatic reduction in exploitation of natural resources: consumption of Water and Soil reduced by 3 orders of magnitude
  • Total abolition of the use of pesticides, fertilisers, and herbicides
  • No impoverishment of flora and total respect of biodiversity

Energy and Industrial Sector

PLANT-BASED OILS FOR ENERGY USE

The pure plant-based oils (OVP) from the pressing of soy, rapeseed and sunflower seeds are used as a bio-fuel by electricity operators who access the all-inclusive tariff for the production of energy from renewable sources.

The supply chain for the production of energy from OVP creates a synergy between the various economic sectors: farming, first seed processing industry, animal feed industry. Plant-based oil amounts to about 18% of soy-seed processing and, because of the difficulty had marketing it, in the last ten years it has been enhanced for the production of electricity from renewable sources, with the circular economy in mind. 

Use of OVP for energy purposes has proved a valid solution for decreasing the dependence on imported gas, hence a way of contributing to greater energy self-sufficiency with a view to the FER decree, besides being an opportunity for companies to reduce their CO2 quotas.

BIOFUELS

As a company for the first processing of raw agricultural materials, Cereal Docks takes part in the growth of agro-energy supply chains for the production of bio-fuels that do not compete with human and animal nutrition.

In the mix of crops that can be suitably placed in the biofuel sector you have soy oil, a structural sub-product of the soy seed transformation process into plant-based protein seeds for animal nutrition. That oil cannot be used for food purpose, but has strong potential as a raw material for biofuels.

Due to its characteristics, soy oil can make an important contribution to decarbonising the mobility sector. It can also be used pure after hydrogenation (HVO) in heavy vehicles – that are technically approved – and for which there are no mature alternatives available yet for their decarbonisation.

LECTIN FOR TECHNICAL APPLICATIONS

Lectins are an irreplaceable component of several production processes. In the tanning sector they assure leather a fine, soft consistency and prevent micro-organisms from forming on the surface.

In the paints industry, lectin fixes the final colour and stops granules forming or sedimentation; and is used in printed inks to facilitate the regulation of humidity, viscosity and the distribution of solvents. They are used as plastifiers to improve the laying properties of cold asphalt and tarmac, or as an emulsifier to help the incorporation of oils, with excellent application performance.

Products - Animal nutrition

  • Minuti di lettura: 1

Animal nutrition

Cereal Docks is the Italian market leader and one of the main European players in the soy transformation sector for animal feed applications and in the supply of corn for zootechnical use and for pet food.

Roasted soy seeds, soybean meals, organic protein panels, zootechnical oils, zootechnical lectins.

Based on an internal estimate, the sum of meal feeds, cereals, oils and other sub-products that Cereal Docks distributes along the production supply chain of the zootechnical sector (chicken, pork, cow’s milk, etc.) is used to produce food that ends up on the tables of about 10 million Italians every day, and of many other consumers of made in Italy products in Europe and the world.

Corn for zootechnical use and pet food
Corn is the main nutrition component of not only revenue animals such as poultry, cattle, and pigs, but is also used in the pet food formulas.
Roasted soy seeds

Thanks to innovative technologies you get slow, low temperature roasting that keeps the seed’s nutritional characteristics intact, to make “full-fat” products, that is seeds complete with all fats, intended to only be used in the animal feed industry.

Meal feeds and soybean meals

The oily seed oil extraction process provides meal feeds and soybean meals from soy seeds, sunflower, rapeseed (normal, protein, high-protein, and hulls) for animal feed formulas.

Organic protein panels

A facility dedicated solely to the cold pressing of organic oily seeds enables the production of zootechnical use panels of soy, rapeseed, sunflower with guaranteed traceability and a cutting-edge quality control and assurance system
Zootechnical oils

The mechanical seed pressing and extraction processes lead to the rough oils from oily seeds, such as soy, rapeseed and sunflower.

Zootechnical lectins

These are an improvement factor for the weight growth of animals and the conversion index. In fish and shell fish farming, the fatty acids contained in lectin are fundamental for the functionality of various apparatuses, notably increasing the survival rate. They contribute to making the food digestible and ensuring good emulsion of fats at intestinal level.

Our ingredients

Closely linked to the farming world, Cereal Docks Group companies start from a plant-based matrix and transform it into a range of diversified ingredients, accompanied by solid reliability, safety and quality guarantees.

PLANT-BASED OILS
Starting from the ground’s fruits, Cereal Docks Group companies transform the oilseeds of sunflower, soy, rapeseed into a wide range of rough and refined oils.
ROUGH OILS
Sunflower seed oil, soy oil, rapeseed oil. The mechanical seed pressing and extraction processes lead to rough oilseed oils such as soy, rapeseed and sunflower.
REFINED OILS

High-oleic sunflower seed oil, linoleic sunflower seed oil
The rough oil is further processed in the modern Camisano Vicentino refinery, operational since 2022. An accurate refining process to enhance and preserve the quality of seeds, resulting in refined oils, in particular sunflower, used in food and packaging industry applications, but also in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

ORGANIC OILS

Rough and virgin oils from the cold-pressing of the organic seeds of sunflower, soy, rapeseed. The Cereal Docks Organic facility (Roverchiara, Verona) has a cold seed pressing plant and a winterisation plant for the production of sunflower and rapeseed virgin oils.
REFINED ORGANIC OILS

Sunflower seed oil, rapeseed oil.
In the new Camisano Vicentino refining facility, the production process is optimised to refine organic oil thanks to advanced technologies for a delicate, batch-based refining process dedicated to organic oil.

SPECIAL ORGANIC OILS

Camelina oil, linseed oil.
The Roverchiara production facility has a second oil mill dedicated to the cold pressing of selected seeds to produce special, high quality linseed and camelina oils. The oil mill is designed to guarantee maximum production flexibility, also enabling very small batches and thus responding to customer needs.

CEREALS FOR FOOD USES

Historically linked to the Cereal Docks origins, cereals (corn, barley, wheat) have always been fundamental nutrients and have taken on an increasingly more important human nutrition role in recent years.

Corn, alongside its zootechnical applications, is also used to produce gluten-free flours, is used in the yeasts industry or in the production of beer. Wheat or soft wheat is used as flour for domestic uses, in bread-making, the confectionary and food industry and in HORECA. Barley, transformed into malt, is the raw material for the production of beer and alcoholic drinks. It is also used in the food industry in ready-made soups and salads, as flour in bread mixture or in the preparation of cakes.

GLUTEN-FREE FLOURS

The Favero business unit processes conventional and organic corn to produce gluten-free flours and ingredients: standard, pre-cooked, and micronized flours, pregelatinized blends, customized mixes, gluten-free breadcrumbs, maize gritz, semi-finished products for the food industry, rice, legume and ancient grains flours.

 PLANT-BASED PROTEINS

Cereal Docks has developed an innovative plant-based ingredient, sunflower seed flour, obtained through a delicate pressing process. It boasts high protein content, neutral flavor, and technical-functional properties, suitable for a wide range of applications from pasta and baked goods to plant-based protein products.

LECTINS
