Prototypes

The use of mycoprotein in food manufacturing is a growing global trend drive by several factors:

• Pressure on food producers to improve sustainability and environmental performance
• The rising cost of meat
• Drive to improve nutritional value of processed meat products with lower meat content
• A need to develop innovative products aligning with emerging market trends

FungiTech powdered and textured mycoprotein has a number of applications within food manufacture. Our ingredients are highly versatile: they can be incorporated into bread to improve fibre content and produce a high protein product. Moreover, the umami flavour profile of our mycoprotein ingredients also make it highly suitable for use in hybrid meat products and plant-based meat alternatives.
