Innovation in precision fermentation for food ingredients.

Published: June 2024

A transformation in our food production system is being enabled by the convergence of advances in genome-based technologies and traditional fermentation. Science at the intersection of synthetic biology, fermentation, downstream processing for product recovery, and food science is needed to support technology development for the production of fermentation-derived food ingredients. The business and markets for fermentation-derived ingredients, including policy and regulations are discussed. A patent landscape of fermentation for the production of alternative proteins, lipids and carbohydrates for the food industry is provided. The science relating to strain engineering, fermentation, downstream processing, and food ingredient functionality that underpins developments in precision fermentation for the production of proteins, fats and oligosaccharides is examined. The production of sustainably-produced precision fermentation-derived ingredients and their introduction into the market require a transdisciplinary approach with multistakeholder engagement. Successful innovation in fermentation-derived ingredients will help feed the world more sustainably.

Bovine lactoferrin (bLf) confers significant functional benefits for human health, but low concentrations in milk and high cost of commercial production limit availability and thus product application. Precision fermentation offers a solution to increase availability of biosimilar recombinant bLf (rbLf) thereby opening new opportunities for this high-value ingredient. To comply with regulatory requirements, we aimed to establish that rbLf from is substantially similar to native bLf in structure and key functions.

Dietary fiber has become increasingly recognized as a key factor in maintaining gastrointestinal health. Dietary fiber sources are often comprised of several different fiber fractions, each with unique physicochemical properties. These properties can have varying physiological effects on the gastrointestinal tract that include modulation of microbiota, production of fermentation-derived metabolites, and laxation.

As one of the largest volume flavor ingredients, vanillin remains an attractive target for development of a cost-effective and sustainable process to manufacture. Presented here is newly available data on the production of vanillin via fermentation in an engineered strain of grown on sucrose ex-sugarcane. The use of the C4 plant source of carbohydrate resulted in a δC mean stable isotope ratio of -14.

Fermentation-derived nitrite (NO2) from vegetable sources is increasingly used as a "clean label" alternative to conventional NaNO2. Previous results suggested that processed meats cured with NO2 derived from a "natural" source had lower antimicrobial activity than did meats produced with chemical NaNO2; however, the differences were likely due to NO2 concentration rather than source. The objective of this study was to compare the antilisterial properties of traditional and clean label alternative curing approaches when combined with antimicrobials in deli-style turkey.
