Smallfood’s current method of fermentation is fed-batch, where feeding for 10h with substrate and supplements extends the duration of culture and achieves higher cell density, 55 g/L biomass. Due to high oxygen requirement of the protein production process, further increase in biomass yield has been a challenge using fed-batch process. To achieve higher biomass yields without oxygen depletion, repeated fed-batch where harvesting 50% or more of a completed (fed) batch and leaving the remaining cells available is to use as an inoculum for cycles will increase the biomass yield. Therefore, the cu
This project involves the growth of a proprietary non-GMO heterotrophic alga and processing of the cells to produce protein, lipid and carbohydrate fractions. The fractions are intended for use in human and animal nutritional applications.
This project is designed to optimize the fermentation process for commercial production for whole cell product in addition to enhancing protein extraction method.
