Call for Partners | PROFFS: Precision fermentation process optimization for food safety
Process optimization approaches in precision fermentation, as an alternative production system for animal-derived proteins, usually focuses on achieving high titres to be economically viable.
Currently, little is known about the safety and allergenicity of precision-fermented proteins and anecdotal reports about tolerance issues can be found online. While safety aspects and allergenicity of precision-fermented proteins are actively being studied and compared with animal-derived proteins, approaches to optimize precision fermentation production processes with a view to food safety are currently lacking.
The deadline of this call is september 2024.
