Productification of single cell proteins

The NextGenProteins project addresses the H2020-LC-SFS-17-2019: "Alternative Proteins for Food and Feed". NextGenProteins will achieve its objectives by enabling efficient production and processing methods for three highly promising alternative protein sources and evaluate their potentials for commercial utilisation in both food and feed. The novelty of the project is to create value from waste by applying three bio-conversion processes, each utilising an existing industrial and/or commercial waste stream to create safe, sustainable, high-quality proteins in line with EU regulatory frameworks. NextGenProteins will identify potential production bottlenecks for the three protein sources and pave the way for industrial up-scaling through practical-, research- and/or concept application in feed and food products. Application potentials will be explored in close collaboration between the multi-disciplinary RTD partners and the small, medium and large food and feed production/marketing companies within the consortium. NextGenProteins will utilise the combined strength and expertise of the RTD, business and market partners, as well as those of stakeholders and consumers, to develop resilient and sustainable alternative protein value chains in line with the values, needs and expectations of both producers and the consumers.
