The month that's been for Wide Open Agriculture
This month, the company has released news about 2 of its key products. The company has made headwinds with its modified lupin protein and its OatUP oat milk product.
Modified lupin protein
On 27 May, Wide Open Agriculture announced its up-and-coming modified lupin protein had been made into several early-stage food and drink prototypes.
The company found its lupin protein can be used in food items such as noodles and mock meats. It also forms a gel-like constancy which the company believes would serve to make plant-based cheeses, yogurts, tofu, and mayonnaise. Additionally, it can be a soluble power, which the company plans to add to its OatUp product to create a new line of high-protein oat milk.
The company has already made protein balls from the technology. They are for sale on the company's Dirty Clean Food website.
The news saw the Wide Open Agriculture share price finish the day 15% higher than its previous session.
The company announced on 17 June it will build a manufacturing facility in Western Australia to produce lupin protein-based food products.
Despite the good news, the company's share price fell 6%.
OatUP

OatUp is the world's first regenerative and carbon neutral oat milk.
The company's shares gained 2% on the back of the announcement.
