InnoProtein: The transition towards greener, tastier and newer proteins

The InnoProtein project aims to address the economic, environmental, and social challenges associated with current protein sources in Europe by developing and introducing sustainable alternatives for food, feed, and non-food applications. The primary focus is on creating new protein sources that possess exceptional nutritional quality, health benefits, and functional properties to meet the diverse needs of consumers, animals, and industries. These proteins will not only cater to the food and feed markets but also find applications in non-food biobased industries. To achieve this goal, the InnoProtein project will employ a circular and zero-waste strategy, ensuring the valorisation of residual biomass and streams from Single Cell Protein (SCP) and insect protein production processes for the production of bioplastics and bio-stimulants.
