Mycoprotein

Mycoprotein is a protein-rich food suitable for vegetarians. It is made from Fusarium, a fungus grown in a large vessel called a fermenter. The fungus is supplied with glucose syrup and oxygen.

Mycoprotein, used in meat substitutes, is made by growing the fungus Fusarium. The fungus grows in a fermenter supplied with glucose as food and oxygen for aerobic respiration. Its biomass is then harvested and processed into food.

Mycoprotein, for example, is protein-rich material made using a fungus and can be used as a meat substitute. The fungus is provided with food such as glucose and suitable aerobic growing conditions so that it grows and produces biomass.
