The alternative protein ecosystem
Discover global hubs of alternative protein innovation with our interactive map.
Plant-Based
Science
We cultivate a strong scientific ecosystem and develop open-access research and resources.
Plant-based marbled meats
Years active: 2023This project aims to address a critical gap in the production of meat alternatives by developing marbled plant-based meats.
Understanding cooling die scalability and protein texturization
Years active: 2023The project aims to design practical variations of extruder cooling dies and study the impacts of cooling gradient, die dimensions, and mass flow rates.
Plant proteins: Structuring through processing
Years active: 2023Integrating high-moisture extrusion and post-structuring technologies for improved textures from plant proteins.
Neutron scattering during extrusion of meat analogs
Years active: 2023With neutron scattering, this project aims to understand how plant protein melts solidify into fiber-like meat analogs during extrusion processes.
