mycoprotein production

What sounds really mystical: Mycoprotein originates from fungi - ultra small living organisms persisting all around us, even in the air that we inhale. Although some fungi can be beneficial and healthy even, still there are ones that may also cause harm. Mykoprotein from fungi: A specific type of known as Fusarium venenatum (fungi) is used to create mycoprotein. The protein this plant provides is nutritional and can be consumed as an alternative for meat in vegetarian dishes.

However, to produce mycoprotein at a commercially high level is an extremely complex thing. It starts with cultivating the fungi in enough of these fermenters. The fungi feed off a blend of sugar and other nutrients in these tanks, giving rise to mycoprotein. After that, the mycoprotein needs to be processed in a series of steps: harvesting, purification and drying so it can later used as an ingredient.

Sustainable mycoprotein production

Notable among them is the sustainability behind mycoprotein production. It needs hardly any land at all - and even less water or energy than, say, animal farming which can both be resource-intensive to an environmentally problematic degree. This form of food production, which is sustainable and eco-friendly in nature, can also be incredibly practical - with a high output per unit area over short periods. This addresses the issue of how to feed a growing population without putting an inordinate burden onto the environment.
