Model-guided optimization of alt protein
Years active: 2023This project will develop and optimize low-cost serum-free culture media for cultivated chicken meat, using metabolic modeling and spent media analysis.
Antioxidants in oil-in-protein matrix
Years active: 2022This project investigates dynamic antioxidant combination behaviors in plant-based fat tissue. Antioxidants with different mechanisms and polarities will be combined in oil or protein gel phases in different-sized particles to demonstrate interaction effects and evaluate lipid oxidation.
Alternative plant-based seafood flavors
Years active: 2022Dr Frank and his team are working to create more desirable plant-based seafood flavors. They will apply natural flavor chemistry pathways knowledge and sensory techniques to identify the most suitable flavor precursors for a range of plant-based seafood products.
A novel media recycling system
Years active: 2022The project aims to develop a sustainable toolbox of edible fungi strains to obtain intact RuBisCO from green tea. It bridges fungi fermentation with leaf protein production from waste streams, generating two promising alternative proteins in a single system.
Antinutrient-free plant albumin
Years active: 2022This project aims to identify affordable plant albumins for culture media. Dr. Richards and his team will characterize at least six plant albumins that support fish cell growth.
