Mycoprotein: The Future of Nutritious Nonmeat Protein, a Symposium Review. [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Developments in Nutrition, 2019
Mycoprotein is an alternative, nutritious protein source with a meat-like texture made from Fusarium venenatum, a naturally occurring fungus. Its unique method of production yields a significantly reduced carbon and water footprint relative to beef and chicken. Mycoprotein, sold as Quorn, is consumed in 17 countries, including the United States.

Short Chain Fatty Acid Production From Mycoprotein and Mycoprotein Fibre in an in Vitro Fermentation Model [PDF]

open access: yesNutrients, 2019
Dietary mycoprotein (marketed as QuornTM) has many health benefits, including reductions in energy intake. The majority of studies evaluating mycoprotein focus on the protein content and very few consider the fibre content. Fibre consumption is also associated with decreased energy intake, which is partly attributed to short chain fatty acids (SCFAs ...

Mycoprotein: Environmental Impact and Health Aspects [PDF]

open access: yesWorld Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2019
Abstract The term mycoprotein refers to the protein-rich food made of filamentous fungal biomass that can be consumed as an alternative to meat. In this paper, the impact caused by the substitution of animal-origin meat in the human diet for mycoprotein on the health and the environment is reviewed. Presently, mycoprotein can be found

Unveiling the Role and Mechanism of Mycoprotein for Reducing Cardiovascular Risk.

open access: yesCurrent Pharmaceutical Biotechnology
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have the highest mortality rates worldwide. To reduce the risk of CVDs, dietary interventions are a potential approach. This review explores the potential of mycoprotein, a fungal-derived protein, as a dietary approach for ...

Mycoprotein and Health

Nutrition Bulletin, 2008
SummaryMycoprotein is a high protein, high fibre, low fat food ingredient derived from fermentation of the filamentous fungus Fusarium venenatum. Interest in the putative role of mycoprotein in lowering blood cholesterol concentrations, reducing energy intakes and controlling blood sugar levels has generated a small number of human studies ...
