Healthy,
sustainable,
and delicious foods
from fungal mycelium
We are actively developing a range of versatile food and feed ingredients for different application areas and invite partners to co-create and explore together the potential that mycelium offers.
What is mycoprotein?
Mycelium, the thread-like body mass of fungi, is packed with high-quality protein. Mycoprotein is protein from fungi.
But it's so much more than this too. Our mycoprotein is highly digestable and has a balanced amino acid profile, with all essential amino acids. The mycelium also contains high-quality dietary fiber and minerals.
Sounds good so far, but what about the fungi? Here we need to look more closely, or more precisely, magnify. All fungi, whether or not they produce mushrooms, are microbes. They chain together in long, delicate threads called hyfae that make up the mycelium, which is basically a huge nutrient transportation network. So while we can't see individual microbial fungi with the naked eye, the mycelium is easy to spot.
The hyfae closely resemble the fibers in animal muscle in strength and texture, making mycelium an excellent complement or replacement for meat.
What's more, mycelium can be manipulated and molded to meet the needs of different food applications, and the team at NoMy has developed a set of simple, gentle processing steps that open a wide range of possiblities for mycoproteins.
With 50% protein content, a pleasant, neutral taste and pleasing texture, NoMy's mycoprotein is ready to power a sustainable food revolution.
Fungal magic
If mycoprotein seems impressive, then the way we produce it will sound like planet-saving, yummy wizardry.
Watery side streams from the food industry measure in the billions of liters per year and contain enough nutrients to feed ten's of millions of people. Yet most goes to waste, because until now there haven't been good ways to access all those nutrients. It's been too expensive to concentrate, store, transport, and process side streams.
But fungi can thrive in these environments, with the right help. Enter NoMy's magicians, also known as experts in industrial fermentation technology. We develop proprietary solutions that bridge the gap between side streams and society's need for healthy protein.
By collaborating with fungi, NoMy's fermentation technology enables a global food system that is circular by Nature.
