SOLEIN: PROTEIN OUT OF THIN AIR

The Finnish food-tech startup has received approval from the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) for producing an exceptional protein by using one of its finest inventions so far. Solein is neither a plant nor an animal but an edible microbial protein in powdered form. The protein is synthesized by a single-celled microorganism through the process of fermentation.

To make the production process sustainable, the company used renewable electricity to split water molecules into hydrogen & oxygen; and supplied CO2, hydrogen, nitrogen, and mineral nutrients, required for cell growth. Later, the protein is harvested by removing the excess water and drying the remnants into a protein-rich powder without harming any plants or animals. Based on the composition, this novel protein can substitute for proteins in virtually all foods.

  • There are 65–70% proteins, 5–8% fats, 10–15% fiber, and 3–5% minerals in Solein. The macronutrient composition of Solein is similar to dry soy or algae. It also contains iron, B vitamins, and carotenoids, giving Solein its distinctive color.
  • Solein comprises all the essential amino acids required by the human body: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.

KEY APPLICATIONS OF SOLEIN ACROSS THE FOOD INDUSTRY

  • The protein emerges as an ideal meat alternative as it precisely imitates the real meat’s authentic flavor and juicy texture.
  • It fortifies the protein content in cereal & bakery products and, thus, can substitute cereals to meet the protein requirement.
  • It also contains fiber and is also low in fat. Therefore, making it a healthy alternative to fat-loaded snacks. In addition, it can be used in creating sweet and savory snacks.
  • Due to the neutral taste and smooth texture of Solein protein, it can be added to a wide range of drinks, including smoothies and shakes.
  • Moreover, the protein can be used as a nutritious spread or topping on bread.
  • Lastly, it can be used in manufacturing dairy alternatives, such as milk, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream. Owing to its thickness and creaminess, it does not need any other proteins to maintain the texture and flavor of dairy items.

Solar Foods’ first commercial production facility, Factory 01, is scheduled to be operational in 2024.
