By Priyanjana Pramanik, MSc.May 29 2024Reviewed by Susha Cheriyedath, M.Sc. A recent review article published in the journal Nature Communications discusses the need to translate food security efforts into commercial applications, highlighting the role of innovative startups in advancing alternative protein sources.
Addressing these issues requires innovative technologies such as precision agriculture, genetic modifications, and alternative protein sources. An ecosystem of startups This author, Elena Lurie-Luke of the Department of Biosciences, Durham University, UK, used startups as a data source to gauge advancements in alternative proteins due to their agility and innovation.

The problem to solve is to find an alternative to animal/fish-based proteins and when it comes to finding an alternative, there are three main options to consider: using a replacement, modifying existing non-animal/non-fish sources of proteins, and making an alternative source of proteins. Replace: this option involves using a readily available substitute for the target compound, e.g.
Utilizing non-animal protein sources The "Modify" strategy utilizes existing non-animal protein sources, such as plants and insects. Innovations like 3D bioprinting and texture improvement techniques address plant-based foods' sensory and structural challenges. Despite advancements, challenges include allergen concerns, flavor enhancements, and the need for comprehensive safety data.
