Biotalks ´Solid-state fermentation as a multipurpose strategy for recycling residual biomass´

Join the Faculty of Biotechnology, which is organising the Biotalks ‘Solid-state fermentation as a multipurpose strategy for recycling residual biomass: obtaining added-value proteins’, on 30 May from 2pm.

No need to register - just show up in EBI005.

Ricardo García is our guest speaker.

The SUNsPROs project targets the obtention of sustainable fungal proteins (single cell protein, enzymes and peptides) that comply with high nutritional characteristics in terms of high essential amino acids (isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine), minerals (Fe, Zn, Na, Se, Mn, Ca, P) and vitamins (B2). This could  be achieved through the upcycling of agri-food waste (among others) as suitable and renewable substrates for fungi development as well as the design and describe processing models for the sustainable recovery of these target proteins through the application of biotechnological and environmentally friendly methods.
