INNOPROTEIN

The EU funded project InnoProtein tackles the urgent need for new and sustainable protein sources with high nutritional quality, healthy, and functional properties.

Abstract Pattern

InnoProtein steps up the lack of local sustainable protein in the European market, by developing new products for food and feed. By tapping into novel protein sources like microalgae, fungi, bacteria, and insects, the project provides driving solutions that shrink the “EU’s protein gap” and ensure future food security. 

Output

Unconventional sources of proteins and their novel biomass (microalgae, fungi, insect and bacteria) growth processes optimised and their application in food and feed products, non-food (plastic-free cutlery) and biogas. Non-invasive US prototype to in-line monitoring of microalgae culture.
