ZEST’s strategy focuses on devising an enhanced, scale-flexible, and AI-controlled fermentation production system capable of generating a diverse array of protein products for the food and pet-food industries, as well as byproducts for the cosmetic industry.
Artificial intelligence
ZEST uses advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) to integrate process knowledge into control systems.
Primary objectives:
- Develop an innovative fermentation system for producing fungal proteins and nutrients for food and pet food products, as well as other bio-based products like cosmetics.
- Utilise digital modelling and artificial intelligence for process optimisation and creating a zero-waste production system.
- Assess the entire value chain to ascertain their economic viability, market potential, environmental impact, and sustainability of fungal-based products.
Primary objectives:
- Developing an efficient, zero-waste automatic production system.
- Designing a multipurpose bioreactor adaptable to substrates with varying viscosities and dry matter content.
- Assessing the entire value chains to ascertain their economic viability, market potential, environmental impact, and sustainability of fungal-based products.
