Human lactoferrin, produced by precision fermentation, available to try at IFT first next week. Lactoferrin from cows milk is incredibly expensive as it takes 10,000L milk to make just 1kg dairy/bovine lactoferrin. By using precision fermentation, not only can it be produced efficiently but human lactoferrin rather than bovine can be produced. Will there be a premium market for bovine lactoferrin from cows milk once human lactoferrin from precision fermentation is widely available? Westland are currently spending $74 million to build a new lactoferrin plant in Hokitika, has this development in availability of precision fermentation lactoferrin been taken into consideration?

🔦 In this month's instalment of 'Start-up spotlight,' we speak to Raya Liberman-Aloni, CTO and co-founder of PoLoPo, an Israeli start-up that employs molecular farming to produce animal-based proteins in potato plants ⭐ 🥔 "#PoLoPo’s ovalbumin (egg protein) is identical to its animal-derived counterpart in its function and nutritional value and is a one-to-one replacement for egg protein powders," Liberman-Aloni told The Cell Base. 🥚 "The #SuperAA platform is essentially a biofactory where we manufacture the target ingredients – in this case, egg protein. This platform is tunable and can be applied to other ingredients. We’ve started with ovalbumin, but other animal proteins, notably dairy protein, could be produced on the SuperAA platform." 🧫 Read more about PoLoPo's mission on #TheCellBase 👇 #molecularfarming #Israel #altprotein #cellag #ovalbumin #biofactory https://lnkd.in/edPJ_kRz

What are the demographics of plant-based fermenters? What are consumer attitudes to traditional, precision, and biomass fermentation across Europe? Some really interesting results to be shared from this consumer survey of over 7,800 European respondents. Please share with anyone you think might be interested to join us and help us enhance this important work! 😊 🔬

Freezing meat is a common practice, yet has been widely considered to negatively impact meat quality.

🌟 Anuga Alternatives: New trade show segment to focus on alt-proteins 🍄 #AnugaAlternatives will be an additional segment at #Anuga 2025, which will be held at the Koelnmesse GmbH from 4-8 October. It will shed light on the most recent innovations in the cell-cultivated, plant-based, #insect, #algae and #mushroom-based protein segments.  🗣 Jan Philipp Hartmann, director of Anuga, said: “The progress made in processing plant-based sources of protein and finding new sources of protein are of central importance here. At the coming edition of Anuga, especially within the scope of Anuga Alternatives, we will examine these developments in detail." 🤝 Bastian Mingers, VP of food trade fairs at Koelnmesse, commented: “Our new trade show, Anuga Alternatives, is the answer to the market's dynamic development towards plant-based food and a decisive trendsetter for the trade and industry.” 🧫 Read more about the new show on The Cell Base 👇 #Germany #AnugaFoodTec #Koelnmesse #cellbasedmeat #cultivatedmeat #plantbased #altprotein #alternativeprotein https://lnkd.in/eD2cYhbQ
