At Tech we take a systematic view to the production system. Therefore, our research within alternative protein sources is conducted across a wide spectrum of value chains where everything is connected. Aarhus University holds unique strengths by covering entire value chains and works across disciplines to create impact.
We research options in cyclic economy, side-stream valorization, upcycling of products and diversifying the availability of all protein sources: plant, animal, aquatic, fermented and biotechnologically produced, in the context of future climate changes.
Our research ranges from land-based protein crop breeding and production, additive protein production from algae and insects, biotechnological protein production through single cell and precision fermentation and from carbon capture. Crude protein separation and purification for down- stream food and feed processing and product development, all the way to markets.
