Food materials comprising filamentous fungal particles and membrane bioreactor design

This invention describes a way to make food from fungi. It involves growing edible filamentous fungi in a special container, then harvesting the fungal material. This fungal material, which is high in protein and free of the original growing medium, is then processed into a vegetarian meat substitute after being treated to ensure it's no longer viable.

Why it matters: The efficiency and scalability of membrane bioreactor systems for high-protein fungal biomass production have likely improved since 2023. This could make the precise control over protein content and feedstock separation, as claimed, more economically viable.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedBioreactor, fungal cultivation, protein processing, inactivation
