Lasso Labs is a food tech startup that puts taste and texture first. To aid in new product and scaling efforts, Lasso is investigating different processing techniques for their plant-based fibers. This year's SCOPE team developed a method and device to dry thin, delicate sheets of fibers in a way that is time and energy efficient, user friendly, and scalable. The team researched different methods and prototype and test systems. Lasso hopes to implement the findings from this project in their pilot line to increase product throughput and usability.
