Seaweed proteins for cultivated meat (SeaToMeat)
Years active: 2024This project generates low-cost, high-performance hydrolysates from seaweed proteins for cell culture media to support cultivated meat production.
Science
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.
2025 AOCS Meeting (American Oil Chemists’ Society)
Join GFI experts at the AOCS Meeting to explore research on land use efficiency and the environmental impact of plant-based meats.
Agricultural sidestreams for culture media
Years active: 2024This project will assess the functionality of various agricultural sidestream derived cell culture media components.
Green downstream processing
Years active: 2024This research project intends to develop an innovative approach for downstream processing of precision fermentation biomasses.
Upcycling of side streams
Years active: 2024Over 20% of plant protein is underutilized. This project addresses that challenge by developing more efficient protein recovery.
Reimagining soy: flavor and function
Years active: 2024This project upcycles non-GMO soybean meals into premium ingredients with improved flavor and function through innovative processing.
