Microscopic organisms have immense potential as a sustainable protein source due to their efficient use of resources like water and land, as well as their extremely low carbon footprint compared to livestock farming.
Mycoproteins should be able to address the growing demand for protein while mitigating environmental impact, making them a promising solution for future sustainable nutrition resulting in healthier planet and healthier diets.
The company utilize fungi in a technology that creates a fully circular ingredient product using industrial sidestreams, powered by the circular economy.
Their technology uses solid-state fermentation, as well as a method for the pre- and post-treatment of different sidestreams from the food and agri-sector.
Depending on where industrial production is located, their technology allows the production of mycoproteins used for feed close to where both industrial sidestreams and feed manufacturers are situated.
The company can grow fungi in fermentation tanks using these sidestreams to produce high-quality dried powder that has great nutritional content and high a protein content.
The final product is based on natural FDA- and GRAS-approved strains already consumed by humans around the globe in different diets.
At this stage, Seaqure labs is able to produce various reliable products for mycoprotein drop-in ingredients for aquaculture, pet and animal feed industries.
