Nutreco announces opening of first cell feed production facility

Here’s your latest instalment of the Protein Production Technology International newsletter! And despite being in the midst of the vacation season, there’s still plenty of developments to bring to your attention!

First up this week, there was the announcement that the world's first cell feed production facility has opened Netherlands, aiming to provide cost-effective, sustainable nutrients for the growing cell-cultured meat industry.

Meanwhile, a Swedish company has secured €2.76 million in EU grants to develop sustainable, plant-based fats. Using fermentation, they create alternatives to animal fats for meat and dairy products.

An interesting collaboration has seen one company’s expertise in amino acids combined with another’s AI-powered protein discovery, with the aim to develop natural, low-calorie sweet proteins, which are expected to be sweeter, healthier, and more sustainable than traditional sweeteners such as sugar and high-fructose corn syrup.

A further partnership is looking to fast-track plant-based bioproduct development and commercialization, combining manufacturing expertise and biomanufacturing infrastructure for accelerated market entry.

And we were intrigued to hear that another company is developing new, sustainable food colorings using fermentation technology. The process offers improved functionality and year-round production, expanding the range of plant-based color options available for food and beverage manufacturers.

We’ll return next week with more news from the industry, but don’t forget to keep checking our LinkedIn page for regular and breaking updates as we receive them. We hope you enjoy your week, whatever you’re doing!
