Research Summary
Microbial fermentation is a process used in the production of alternative proteins, also known as microbial proteins or fermentation-derived proteins. In this process, microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast, or fungi are cultivated in bioreactors and provided with a nutrient-rich medium, typically containing sugars, amino acids, and minerals. The microorganisms convert these nutrients into protein through fermentation, resulting in a biomass rich in protein. This biomass can then be harvested, processed, and used as an alternative protein source for human consumption or as an ingredient in various food products. Microbial fermentation offers several advantages for alternative protein production, including high efficiency, scalability, and sustainability. It can be tailored to produce specific types of proteins with desired nutritional profiles and functionalities, making it a versatile and promising technology for addressing global food security and sustainability challenges. Examples of microbial fermentation-derived proteins include single-cell proteins (SCP), fungal proteins, and yeast proteins, which are increasingly being used in plant-based meat alternatives, dairy alternatives, and other food products.
