Myco4Food
Myco4Food is developing a scalable bioreactor system for solid-state fermentation (SSF) technology to upcycle organic waste products into protein-rich food ingredients. Their innovative platform uses AI-based, automatically controlled technology to advance SSF, improving resource utilization and producing price-competitive, sustainably produced compounds. The system features a novel bioreactor design with advanced sensors and control units for homogeneous fermentation and microclimate control, coupled with a backend system that uses AI to predict fungal variables and optimize fermentation in real-time. This modular design allows customization for different processes, enhancing compatibility and scalability, and aims to transform the utilization of organic waste materials for future protein ingredients.
