    Area of Science:

    • Food Science
    • Biotechnology
    • Nutritional Science

    Background:

    • Growing global population increases demand for protein sources.
    • Traditional protein production faces sustainability and efficiency challenges.
    • Need for alternative protein sources to meet nutritional requirements.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To critically review the need for increased protein availability.
    • To explore methods for enhancing protein supply, including efficient use and synthesis.
    • To evaluate novel protein sources like oilseeds and single-cell protein (SCP).

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and critical analysis of existing data on protein production and utilization.
    • Evaluation of oilseed processing for food applications (extruded soya, spun fibers).

  • Assessment of microbial protein synthesis (yeast, bacteria, algae) for Single-Cell Protein (SCP) production.

    • Main Results:

    • Oilseeds offer potential but face practical application challenges.
    • Microbial synthesis yields Single-Cell Protein (SCP) with varying compositions and nutritional values.
    • SCP development is progressing through generations with improved purity and food suitability.

    Conclusions:

    • Efficient use of existing protein and synthesis of new protein are key strategies.
    • Single-Cell Protein (SCP) shows promise as a future human food source.
    • Further research on SCP wholesomeness, tolerance, and optimization is crucial for widespread adoption.
