Heura CEO: ‘We can transform ultra-processed foods into highly nutritious options’
While it made its name selling meat alternatives, Heura has since developed novel texturizing technology that can be applied to everything from cheese to pasta, enabling higher levels of protein, less saturated fat, and fewer additives, says the Barcelona-based startup, which is now exploring partnerships and licensing deals to achieve maximum impact.
Heura’s ‘process-controlled microstructure design’ tech-which involves heating, cooling and mixing- does not require expensive bespoke equipment and uses a lot less energy than extrusion, with a higher throughput, claims cofounder and CEO Marc Coloma, who says Heura remains on course to become profitable next year.

Enifer revives 20th century mycoprotein operation, with a new twist
Просмотров 64Месяц назад
Finnish startup Enifer is one of a flurry of new players in the biomass fermentation space growing mycoprotein. But what makes it stand out from the crowd, and does the world need more mycoprotein? For a start, its core product (brand name: PEKILO) has already been produced successfully at industrial scale, and can run off a variety of feedstocks aside from pure glucose, said cofounder and CEO ...

    We put too much chemicals, antibiotics and other nasty synthetics to grow tissues in the lab. Even bovine serum extracted from the blood of animals is needed particularly as a hormone source in the culture and cant be replaced. As soon as the consumers realize what they are eating is far worse than the actual meat both from health and animal welfare, they will stop eating it. And this is even if these companies would take over the issues with the mass production of the meat. None of these products will see the light of the day and they are there only with their empty promises and hypes from the friendly media. As soon as the investors finally realize it won't work, they all vanish just like most of the others did.

    If you could produce the active compounds artificially would be a real solution. However, they would need to be tested not to have impact the health of the animals or the human consumers. Also see if sargassum would have the same impact as it is available in large quantities and is actually a serious problem in certain coasts.

    Very interesting! I think one of the main issues to make sure and convince the authorities that the disease is specific for a certain pest plant. Also there is a good chance for resistance development in the plant. For this I would suggest the use of 2 or more strains being used at the same time. This has a big potential particularly here in Australia for the exotic pest plants such as lovegrass. However convincing the authority that fusarium would be specific plant would be a monumental task as fusarium is a massive problem in Australia and Australian government sections are like dinosaurs.

    The disparity between development cycles versus market cycles, I feel, is so important and often underestimated. I love how efficient and versatile pongamia seems to be so I hope these efforts to diversify and increase financial resilience will pay off. Having more viable options increases worldwide food safety resilience, and it's hard to complain about that. All this said. Pongamia is a tree and that comes with its own challenges. From what I can find, it takes 5 years to go from seed to harvest and that doesn't necessarily mean it'll be a great amount of beans. They said they can achieve consistent high-yields but I'm not sure what that means on a tangible timescale. To start with, I'd like to actually see some hard numbers when they talk about "more biomass per acre than soybeans" that also take into consideration the full lifecycle of the plant. Then, I would also like to see what kind of time scales would be possible if demand were to increase due to, say, some agricultural land degrading to grade 3. I would also be curious about how well the regenerative properties of this plant actually compare, reliably and empirically, to other available methods. Same with the "relatively low water usage". In other words, I'd like to see more technical, black and white data about the plant itself and all related claims.

    Beyond Meat is going bankrupt, these guys will too. Plant based food is not good for you. Research the carnivore diet and you’ll find thousands that lost weight, fixed type 2, arthritis, brain fog, low energy, and many other things. Meat is a superfood the powers that be don’t want us to have. The thousands of chemicals inside meat cannot be created in a stainless steel tank. Eating unproven food like this turns you into a guinea pig. There are no long term studies on what diseases this change in diet will cause. They have no idea what will happen and assume it will be good for you. Don’t be a guinea pig!

    David is brilliant and I very much appreciate his capacity for systems thinking, science , and business. The piece that I think is unappreciated is that food isn't simply about calories. The industrialization of food and synthesis of food products has led to unintended consequences and aberrations in human biology. Obesity and chronic disease continue to rise and strongly correlated to modern manipulation of food systems. As a clinician there is a fundamental axiom that I have witnessed time and time again, disrupting an aspect of a natural system in isolation tends to lead to dysfunction to other parts of the system.

    I believe governments should reach out and adjust prices of traditional dairy products and meat. These prices are not adjusted for the damage they inflict on the environment, biodiversity and climate. Gradual adjustment of prices would create a more level playing field, which in turn would change the economics dramatically. That said, I also think that much attention must be paid to factors like taste: these products should also be attractive, they should taste good.

    As an Engineer {EE} I find this process fascinating with great potential except for some historic facts. Corporations never have the best interest of the public in mind. In just the last century, for example, steel roller mills allowed for massive amounts of white flour to be milled and the bran/germ sold off as cattle feed. Now most everyone could afford the "rich man's" white bread but didn't care up to 40 of the nutrients in wheat berries had been removed. It took a massive increase in pellagra, beriberi, anemia before government, in 1946, forced the millers to "Enrich" the flour and add back in, 4 nutrients out of the 40 they took out. Then it took until 1996 until the millers were forced to add folic acid to stem the increase in birth defects. Even if you can assure 100% identical protein and texture, what about the nutrients and minerals in true natural products? Or must we go the synthetic route for those? Put back in 5 +/- of the 40 +/- of the nutrients that don't exist in this product? I can easily imagine how the Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab's, WEF, UN, Globalists of the world can and will manipulate our food supply to achieve their true goal of a massive depopulation of the planet by up to 90%. When I think of these people and companies like Monsanto, I cannot help but think animals walking and eating in a farm yard somehow are cleaner and better for humanity.
