Upcycling inputs to produce dairy proteins in bioreactors
EF 2023-24
Résumé
Faced with rising food prices and a growing world population, the risk of food shortages and famine is increasing. In this context, many companies have chosen to produce food products in the laboratory. This production system is less expensive and allows for high yields. Aux Labs is one of these innovative companies since it produces proteins in bioreactors. These proteins make it possible to reconstitute dairy products and cheeses in the laboratory without the environmental impact of intensive breeding. Aux Labs is innovative in its approach because it intends to produce these proteins using recycled substrates as a carbon source for the yeast. This innovative project will make it possible to feed the planet while valorizing agricultural waste.
