Project: The first plant-based fish fillet made of fermented food industry by-products and microalgae

Acronym BETTER FISH (Reference Number: 115609)
Duration 01/10/2021 - 01/10/2024
Project Topic We will deliver the first plant-based non-battered fish fillet made of fermented food industry by-products and microalgae. Inspired by tempeh, we will develop a proprietary bioprocess based on filamentous fungi fermentation in the presence of solid substrates. During the BETTER FISH, the fungi strain and substrate selection will be optimised, and microalgae will be incorporated to achieve the nutritional properties, taste, and texture of real fish.
