Sophie's BioNutrients Aims to Replace Soy as a Commercially Viable Protein Alternative Within Five Years
Sophie's Bionutrients applies a high-moisture extraction process to microalgae, accelerating the commercial viability of microalgae-based foods
Sophie's Bionutrients, a next-generation sustainable urban food production technology company, is shaping the future of food with high moisture extrusion (HME) technology and microalgae fermentation. This process is a revolutionary development in the plant-based protein industry. It offers a commercially viable alternative to cell-based meat production methods still in the early stages of development.
Cell-cultured meat has been heralded around the globe as a potential alternative to conventional meat. However, the technology behind this process is relatively new, and there are still many unknowns that need to be answered before cell-based meats can be produced on an industrial scale. Cell-based meat production is also costly for consumers, with prices above the recommended $7 per kg needed to reach price parity with conventional meats.
