Nandi started in 2001 as a spin-out from Heriot-Watt University. Our technology is based on the pioneering work of our founder Dr Lydia Campbell, formerly with Nestle. We develop protein based ingredients with controlled/enhanced functionality and license the process and process control methods to ingredient and food manufacturers. We work with household-name companies, who use our patented processes and know-how to improve the natural properties of proteins including whey, collagen, rapeseed, oat and faba bean. We have worked on many different proteins.
