22 Jun 2022
Dr Raffael Osen, Group Leader at A*STAR’s Singapore Institute of Food and Biotechnology (SIFBI) was part of a fireside chat at the recent Future Food Asia (FFA) 2022 Conference. Along with industry experts such as business development manager of Meat Analogue, Andre Da Costa, the panel explored the notion of needing a second-generation of alternative proteins. Da Costa shared that diversification of proteins would be the next wave of alternative proteins. Dr Osen noted that this new wave also features the fermentation process but he cautioned that precision fermentation is still in its early stages and that further work is needed to analyse the functionality of ingredients.
