On April 17th, the advisory board meeting of the Fraunhofer lighthouse project “FutureProteins”, which is coordinated by the Fraunhofer IME, took place in Oberhausen, Germany. In the project, six Fraunhofer institutes develop novel, closed agricultural systems for the production of alternative protein sources made from plants, fungi, algae and insects, while simultaneously exploiting all concomitant material and energy side streams. All of the protein sources contain valuable amino acids for human food as well as suitable application properties, thus making them very attractive to the food industry. During the meeting, the current project results and, on top of that, there was a tasting of various baked goods and pasta that were made from the four protein alternatives explored in the project.
