Barley Protein Concentrate
The first plant protein
with the nutritional quality and potential
volume to effectively replace fishmeal in
aquaculture feeds
Barley Protein Concentrate
• MMP developed biological fractionation
process, ethanol co product
• Patent pending US and PCT: Claims for
Process; BPC composition; Use in
aquaculture
• Process design: Similar to an ethanol plant
but different operating conditions, different
enzymes and modified process flow; uses
conventional, available equipment

60% protein dry basis
Crude fiber less than 5%
Microbial contamination< 1X104/gram
Protein digestibility: 96% salmon and trout
Phosphorus less than 0.5%, >60%available
Approved by US Food and Drug
Administration as protein feed ingredient for
aquaculture
Performance
Aquaculture Feeding Studies
All studies independently conducted by USDA,
universities and companies
Trout, Atlantic Salmon, Coho, Char, Yellowtail,
Cobia, Red Drum
BPC equivalent to fishmeal, BPC/fishmeal
blends often superior

These 16 amino acids account for approximately 97% of
total protein determined by assay of total N.
BPC contains amino acids not determined by this assay, for
example cystine.
