2. Germany-based Kenyan man’s group secures funding to transform mushrooms into nutritious proteins.
Accident – Death – Obituary News : A Kenyan researcher and doctor, Habil Seronei Chelulei Cheison, has made headlines after his company secured a staggering KSh 830 million grant to convert mushrooms into healthy proteins. The consortium, which includes 12 companies from Germany, Spain, Latvia, and Denmark, aims to revolutionize the production of sustainable proteins from mushrooms.
Habil’s company, Sinonin Biotech ug (haftungsbeschrankt) Langwedel, based in Germany, will play a crucial role in extracting mycoprotein and nutrients from mycelia biomass and conducting safety assessments. Drawing from his academic research in dairy protein chemistry and his experience in the pet food industry, Habil is well-equipped to lead the innovative project.
Sinonin Biotech ug, named after the lush green habitat of Nandi County in Kenya, will focus on formulating proteins for various products, including mayonnaise, vegan sausages, and pasta. Additionally, the company will develop protein-enriched dog food products, aiming to replace traditional protein sources like soy, wheat, poultry, pork, and beef.
The ZEST project, spearheaded by Habil’s consortium, aims to address the global demand for sustainable proteins amidst growing concerns about environmental impact. By harnessing fungi-based protein production technologies, the project seeks to optimize fermentation processes and utilize agricultural waste streams to create bio-based protein products.
One of the key objectives of the ZEST project is to develop an efficient, zero-waste automatic production system and design a multipurpose bioreactor adaptable to various substrates. The project will also assess the economic viability, market potential, and environmental impact of fungal-based products.
As the project progresses, Habil’s company will focus on extracting mycoprotein and nutrients, improving product quality, exploring residue utilization for biomaterials, and evaluating the functionality of extracted ingredients in food and pet food prototypes. Moreover, safety, sustainability, and economic assessments will be conducted to ensure the project’s success.
In conclusion, Habil Seronei Chelulei Cheison’s groundbreaking project highlights the potential of fungi-based proteins to revolutionize the food industry and address sustainability challenges. With his expertise and passion for innovation, Habil is leading the way towards a more sustainable and secure food system for future generations..
