Protein Production Technology International’s Post

🍄 Fungal fermentation promises delicious and nutritious options for food manufacturers, while reducing environmental impact and combating climate change. 💚 💡But not all approaches and products are equal, as The Protein Brewery Sue Garfitt explains in this exclusive interview for Protein Production Technology International. “At The Protein Brewery, we start with a unique strain of fungus, feed it with glucose (and soon other carbon sources, too), and give it the conditions in which to grow,” says Garfitt, when asked to explain the company’s unique process in layman’s terms. “Once it reaches the perfect stage, we harvest it, pasteurize to stop its growth, and wash it. Then, we press out the water, dry it, and mill it into a fine powder. This dry powder makes our product, Fermotein, incredibly versatile in various food applications.” 😍 The most important feature of Fermotein is its neutrality. Unlike some plant proteins that may have unwanted flavor, Fermotein is completely tasteless, odorless, and colorless, making it incredibly versatile for new product development. 📰 Dive into the full interview in the latest issue of the Protein Production Technology International magazine. 👇 🔗https://hubs.ly/Q02w1RnC0 #fungi #fermentation #alternativeproteins #sustainability #innovation #proteintechnology

🍞Did you know: Yeast is thought to be one of the first organisms to have been domesticated by humans, with evidence of bakeries and breweries using fermentation stretching back thousands of years. Today this ancient technology is on the frontier of building next-generation foods with remarkable nutritional, environmental and taste credentials: 🧀Precision fermentation, already widely used in conventional cheesemaking to make rennet, can be used to make ‘real’ animal proteins like casein and whey with yeast. 🥩Biomass fermentation is used to make high-fibre, high-protein ingredients that can also offer a great flavour profile and meaty texture. 💨 Gas fermentation uses microscopic organisms that can make protein out of thin air, using carbon dioxide and electricity.

Unlocking the Secrets of Dairy Alternatives: A Journey into Sensory Innovation Sensory challenges like aftertaste, texture and flavor are the significant hurdles for category reformulations, especially in dairy alternatives. Drawing insights from extensive patent analyses, FutureBridge uncovers a wealth of solutions, focusing on sensorial enhancements. Scientific breakthroughs are revolutionizing the sensory landscape with disruptive techniques such as high-pressure processing, enzyme-based purification, and microbe-based fat delivery. One notable approach, developed by Swiss food-tech company, Cultivated Biosciences, involves harnessing the power of yeast-derived fat as a potential animal-fat substitute to transform dairy-free coffee creamers. Through GMO-free oleaginous yeast fermentation, the accumulated fat is seamlessly integrated into plant proteins, delivering enhanced smoothness and creaminess while mitigating undesired aftertaste and texture, along with flocculation. https://lnkd.in/gwvkZczR   #FutureBridge #FoodTech #SensoryScience #Innovation #AlternativeProteins #PlantbasedDairy #DairySubstitutes #HighPressureProcessing #Enzymes #EnzymaticProcessing #PlantProteins #Fermentation #FatSubstitutes #YeastFermentation #dairyfree #CoffeeCreamers #Taste #Texture #Flavor #Sensorials #SensoryChallenges #GMOfree #Flocculation

𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭   Precision fermentation utilizes microbial hosts as "cell factories" to produce specific functional ingredients with higher purity requirements and lower incorporation levels compared to primary protein ingredients. This emerging market is poised to revolutionize various sectors such as food, agriculture, healthcare, and sustainable manufacturing. It involves leveraging microorganisms to manufacture valuable compounds through controlled and optimized processes. The development of the precision fermentation industry chain, along with the market status of meat and seafood (whey and casein protein, egg white) and dairy alternatives (whey and casein protein, egg white), is analyzed, along with key enterprises in both developed and developing markets. Cutting-edge technology, patents, hot applications, and market trends within the precision fermentation sphere are also examined. The precision fermentation market is segmented by type and application, providing accurate forecasts for consumption value by type and application from 2024 to 2032.

📣 #Press Cheese of the future: Consumers open to animal-free alternatives 🧀 Researchers at the University of Göttingen investigate consumer acceptance Companies and institutes are currently working on biotechnological processes for the production of dairy products without the use of cows: In so-called precision fermentation, egg and milk proteins are produced with the help of bacteria, yeasts or other fungi. This results in foods such as milk or cheese with a familiar flavour and texture. Supporters hope that this will lead to more sustainable food production, as nutrient-rich proteins can be produced using fewer resources. But will consumers accept such products? Researchers at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen have found that a large proportion of German consumers are willing to try and buy cheese produced in this way. The results of the study have been published in the international journal Future Foods. ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eEvrgjvD #animalfree #precisionfermentation #consumerresearch #futurefoods

🌱 **Starter Culture Market Overview** 🌱 The Starter Culture Market was valued at US$ 1.55 billion in 2029. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period. A starter culture is a microbial technique used to produce commercially fermented foods. It consists of microorganisms that are directly applied to food to achieve desired attributes in the final product. These cultures are often made from sterile media like grains, seeds, or nutrient solutions, facilitating microbial growth for fermentation. Starter cultures enhance the nutritional value, preservation, and economic worth of food products. They enable high-quality production and predictable schedules. Different preservation techniques—such as fermentation, low-temperature treatment, high pressure & radiation processing, salting, and pulsed electric field technology—help improve the texture, taste, and color of food and beverages using starter cultures. #StarterCultureMarket #Fermentation #FoodPreservation #MicrobialCulture #FoodIndustry #MarketGrowth #NutritionalBenefits #FoodTechnology #CAGR #MarketTrends Click Here:https://lnkd.in/dTgmtXVJ

🌐 Did you know that you already consumed products with ingredients made by precision fermentation? Most probably in the past few days actually… Precision fermentation, a silent force behind innovation, has seamlessly woven itself into our daily lives, shaping industries for decades. 🌱 🧀 Cheese Lovers Rejoice : The rennet enhancing the texture and flavor of your favorite cheese? It was traditionally made from an enzyme found in calves’ stomach. But precision fermentation has been a key player in the rennet production process since 1990, with today more than 90% of the rennet produced globally being obtained by precision fermentation, ensuring quality and taste without the need for traditional animal-derived sources. 🍰 Sweeter with Vanillin : Ever wondered what makes your desserts so delightful? Vanillin, a key component of vanilla flavor, has been successfully produced through precision fermentation for quite some time, offering a sustainable alternative to vanilla bean extraction. 💉 Medical Marvels & Decades of Lifesaving Impact : Precision fermentation has been a game-changer in pharmaceuticals for decades. It paved the way for the production of life-saving medicines like insulin since the 90s. It used to be extracted mostly from pigs’ pancreas, and the change to precision fermentation-based insulin production transformed the landscape of diabetes care and made these critical treatments more widely accessible. At Bon Vivant, we're passionate about continuing this legacy of innovation. Our focus extends to creating animal-free dairy proteins, offering a sustainable and ethical way to complement conventional farming.
