Precision fermentation: Making meat molecules in bioreactors

Lab Academy

Paleo BV is a B2B food technology company with a portfolio of heme proteins. In this interview, their CEO Hermes Sanctorum explains how parallel bioreactors help them save time and money when developing precision fermentation processes for the production of meat compounds.

Q: What is the mission of Paleo?
HS:
At Paleo, we make meat compounds without using animals. Why? Because we can no longer look away from the impact of holding massive amounts of livestock, now that demand for meat skyrockets in the 21st century. It accounts for several gigatons of greenhouse gasses and billions of animals killed, year after year.
At Paleo, we want everyone to be able to continue to enjoy meat. Therefore, we return to the roots of what it means to eat meat. Quite literally to the molecules of meat. Through a process of fermentation, Paleo delivers products that are identical to animal meat on a molecular level. In this way, we develop meat compounds without using animals.
Adding our product onto a non-conventional meat product, means as much as adding the taste, texture, color and nutritional value of animal meat. By commercializing our products, we enable food manufacturers to create the meat or fish experience their end-consumer is looking for.
