Researchers from Justus-Liebig-University Giessen Detail Findings in Agribusiness (Upcycling of food industry side streams by basidiomycetes for production of a vegan protein source).

Researchers from Justus-Liebig-University Giessen conducted a study on upcycling food industry side streams using basidiomycetes to produce a vegan protein source. The research focused on submerged propagation of mushrooms in agro-industrial side streams, resulting in protein-rich mushroom mycelia. The study concluded that agro-industrial side streams, such as apple pomace, can be biotransformed by basidiomycetes to enhance their nutritional value. The findings offer insights into sustainable protein production methods to meet the increasing global demand for protein. [Extracted from the article]
