The significant increase in protein demand worldwide poses a great environmental challenge. To address this demand sustainably, a transition to alternative protein sources is essential. In Eurecat's Biotechnology Area, a series of projects are being carried out committed to contributing to innovative solutions that help satisfy the growing demand for proteins. These include the optimization of processing technologies to obtain alternative proteins based on fermentation, research into new technologies for their characterization and functionalization or the application of advanced techniques in molecular biology and omics sciences for process optimization.
