Project
Microheme (Microbial production of heme)
Microbial biomass is arguably the highest potential future sustainable protein source. Yet these protein sources are hardly developed.
This project aims to take a first step toward introducing fermentative biomass as an accepted component of meat alternatives by focusing on microbial production of a unique, high-added-value heme-containing component that addresses the (lack of) flavour, colour, and texture in most, currently available, meat-replacers.
