Fermotein Does Not Exert Genotoxic Effects in Bacterial Reverse Mutation and in Vitro Mammalian Cell Micronucleus Tests

Marjolein van der Spiegel, José J. van den Driessche, Elisa Leune, Kirsten Knobel & Wim de Laat · European Journal of Nutrition & Food Safety · 2021

Aim: Fermotein is an innovative single-cell protein obtained from fermentation of the filamentous fungus Rhizomucor pusillus. Like other filamentous fungi, a lack of information on this species exists to assess its safety for human consumption. The capability to induce gene mutat...

Safety Evaluation of Fermotein: Allergenicity, Mycotoxin Production, Biochemical Analyses and Microbiology of a Fungal Single-cell Protein Product

Marjolein van der Spiegel, José J. van den Driessche, Elisa Leune, Lucie Pařenicová & Wim de Laat · European Journal of Nutrition & Food Safety · 2020

Aim: Single-cell proteins (SCPs) are considered as innovative and sustainable alternatives to animal-based products. Fermotein is an innovative SCP obtained from fermentation of the filamentous fungus Rhizomucor pusillus. The toxicity, capability to produce secondary metabolites...
