Advanced Extraction & Isolation Technology
Modular, solvent-free extraction methods delivering high-purity, neutral plant proteins optimized for B2B global food technology.
Proprietary Protein Isolation
We have developed and patented a proprietary protein isolation technology specifically optimized for Lemna minor. The process is based on a combination of controlled alkaline and enzymatic extraction methodology combined with selective solvent-based purification, enabling efficient separation of high-quality plant protein from biomass.
At the current stage, the technology consistently delivers a protein isolate with ~65% purity, suitable for multiple downstream applications. Importantly, the process architecture is scalable and modular, allowing further refinement and fractionation. With additional processing steps, the protein purity can be enhanced to 90%, depending on the intended end use.
The technology is designed with industrial scalability, resource efficiency, and product versatility in mind, while protecting critical know-how through patent coverage. This makes it suitable for licensing, strategic partnerships, or in-house commercial production across food, nutrition, and specialty ingredient markets.

Precision Rubisco Extraction
At Lemnora, our protein technology is built around Rubisco, the most abundant and one of the most nutritionally complete plant proteins on Earth. Extracted from Lemna minor, Rubisco offers an exceptional amino acid profile, naturally high digestibility, and a neutral sensory character. Our final product is tasteless, colorless, and odorless, making it ideal for incorporation into a wide range of food and nutrition applications — from plant-based meats, dairy alternatives, and protein beverages to nutritional supplements and specialized health foods.
The relevance of such a protein is increasing rapidly. With rising awareness of lactose intolerance, digestive sensitivity to dairy proteins, and the growing preference for vegan, plant-based nutrition, clean-label plant proteins are becoming essential in modern diets. India, with one of the world’s largest vegetarian populations, represents a strong domestic market — while global demand for sustainable, resource-efficient protein sources continues to surge.
Lemna-based Rubisco protein stands out for its light color, mild taste, and superior functionality, making it a preferred ingredient for formulators who require a neutral base without the typical “beany” flavor or green tint associated with other plant proteins.
The Extraction Journey
How we achieve absolute neutral organoleptic properties without using harsh chemical reagents.
"Traditional plant protein extraction often leaves behind a dark green color, a strong grassy flavor, and a bitter taste, which limits how it can be used in everyday food products."
"Our patented technology uses a clean, solvent-free separation process. It gently isolates high-purity protein while removing the plant fibers, bitter components, and strong green chlorophyll."
"A highly functional protein ingredient with a neutral taste and excellent blending qualities (solubility, texture, and binding), making it easy to incorporate into global food products."
Turnkey Customization
Lemnora operates as an end-to-end manufacturer. Because we own the process from seed to final powder, we can customize our ingredients to match the exact needs of our business partners.
"We do not offer just a single standard product. Our facility can adjust its processing to deliver Lemna Protein Concentrates (LPCs) at the exact protein percentage preferred by the customer (ranging from 60% to over 80% protein content)."
"Whether a client needs a high-solubility powder for nutritional beverages, a textured format for plant-based meats, or an easy-mixing powder for health supplements, we tailor the final product's functionality to their exact recipe."
