Mycoprotein Production by Submerged Fermentation of the Edible Mushroom in a Batch Stirred Tank Bioreactor Using Agro-Industrial Hydrolysate.

The demand for cheap, healthy, and sustainable alternative protein sources has turned research interest into microbial proteins. Mycoproteins prevail due to their quite balanced amino acid profile, low carbon footprint and high sustainability potential. The goal of this research was to investigate the capability of to metabolize the main sugars of agro-industrial side streams, such as aspen wood chips hydrolysate, to produce high-value protein with low cost.
