Fermentation
Alternative protein career portal
Discover rewarding alternative protein jobs. Gain insights on building your career and find open positions in this exciting industry.
Massive open online course
Enroll in our open-access online course to learn about the science of plant-based meat, fermentation, and cultivated meat.
Marketplace exchange platform for ingredients, inputs, & services
Connecting the buyers and sellers of the ingredients, inputs, and services needed to produce alternative proteins.
Developing rigorous demand forecasts
Demand forecasts impact investments in R&D, infrastructure, personnel, and partnerships that will be necessary to participate in and accelerate the alternative protein sector.
Targeted alternative protein industry events & workshops
Targeted events enable greater opportunities for meaningful participation and communication between participants. They may also be especially useful for addressing specific subject matter areas or convening stakeholders with expertise in particular aspects of the alternative protein value chain to channel concerted brainstorming efforts toward actionable solutions in the form of active workshops rather than traditional conferences.
Decision matrix for seafood target species selection
Creating an online, open-access decision matrix tool that ranks popular seafood-relevant species against each other based on several criteria such as market size, per-unit price, sustainability of conventional production practices, animal welfare considerations, and consumer receptivity to alternative seafood products of that species.
Fat production & encapsulation within oleaginous yeast
Oleaginous yeast can convert sugars into fats that impart flavor and mouthfeel to alternative proteins, and they can accumulate lipids within their cell bodies to inhibit oxidation. New research on lipid encapsulation in yeast should investigate the efficacy of yeast species for the accumulation and storage of lipids—including lipids with the same profile as animal lipids.
Suppressing hyper-branching of filamentous fungi
Prolonging continuous cultivation of filamentous fungi by suppressing hyper-branching to improve texture and boost production efficiency.
