Years active: 2024This project uses sustainable processing to transform sunflower meal into a protein-rich, eco-friendly ingredient for human food.
Science
MANRRS 39
Join us for an engaging session on alternative proteins and their potential to transform food systems. This session will explore the science, technology, and market opportunities behind plant-based, cultivated, and fermented proteins driving sustainability and innovation in the food industry.
A global perspective on alternative seafood
Explore a first-of-its-kind survey showing what would motivate consumers in Singapore, Thailand, Japan, and South Korea to leave fish in the sea and choose plant-based or cultivated seafood instead.
Food 4 Thought 2025
Don’t miss Bruce Friedrich, GFI’s founder and president, as he takes the stage on Saturday, April 12, at 9:15 AM to discuss how alternative proteins can help build a more sustainable, just, and secure food system.
Seaweed proteins for cultivated meat
Years active: 2024This project generates low-cost, high-performance hydrolysates from seaweed proteins for cell culture media to support cultivated meat production.
Cell culture media from yeast
Years active: 2024This project creates a cost-effective nutrient source for cultivated meat production from sustainably growing lipid-rich yeast on lupin waste.
Upcycling wheat bran for fermentation
Years active: 2024This project called Wheat-UP will upcycle wheat bran into new ingredients for hybrid foods using oils from yeast and mycelium protein biomass.
Microalgae for sustainable cultivated meat
Years active: 2024This project uses microalgae to recycle mammalian cell culture media and create amino acids for growth supplements for cultivated meat production.
