history
Burcon NutraScience Corporation was formed in November 1998 as a venture capital pool corporation whose principal business was to identify and evaluate assets, properties or businesses for acquisition. On October 8, 1999 Burcon acquired BMW Canola Inc. of Winnipeg, Manitoba (now renamed Burcon-MB).
Since then, we have been developing the world’s first commercial canola proteins, Puratein® and Supertein™ canola protein isolates with unique functional and nutritional attributes suitable for human consumption. In November 2008, we successfully developed CLARISOY® soy protein isolate, the only vegetable-based protein that offers clarity and complete protein nutrition for low pH beverage systems.
Burcon’s development efforts are focused on commercializing its core patented protein extraction and purification technologies. On March 4, 2011, Burcon entered into a twenty-year license agreement with Archer Daniels Midland Company for the worldwide production, distribution and sale of Burcon's CLARISOY® soy protein.
