Bioconversion of babassu mesocarp flour into single-cell protein in a controlled bioreactor system

This study done by BioinFood,achieved a 50% increase in biomass and a 15% yield improvement by converting babassu flour into single-cell protein through fed-batch yeast cultivation using the INFORS HT Multifors bench-top bioreactor with eve software and the Minitron incubator shaker. With optimized process parameters and continuous feeding, the resulting protein-rich biomass was successfully used in plant-based burger prototypes, demonstrating a promising path for upcycling agricultural byproducts into functional food ingredients.
