Projects - X (Xuan) Yang MSc

Numerous research currently focuses on alternatives to traditional food sources to achieve more sustainable diets. Oleaginous microorganisms (OMs) as a kind of novel food source are highly nutritious, easy to cultivate, and produced with limited land. Their applications focus on lipids extraction. However, the application of whole biomass is promising, which will not only simplify the processing but also introduce various intracellular nutrients. However, there is still limited knowledge on how to incorporate OMs into different food matrices. Therefore, the aim of this project is to develop a generalized methodology for the conversion of OMs into food ingredients with various techno-functionalities.
