Israeli foodtech start-up, Kinoko-Tech, has signed a commercial agreement with Metaphor Foods, the innovation arm of ingredients and processing company, Hela Spice Australia, to produce thousands of tons of sustainable, protein-rich products in Australia.

🍄🌭 FoodTech 500 alum enters partnership to expand mycelium-based protein alternatives. Kinoko-Tech, a startup specializing in mycelium protein, partners with Australia's Metaphor Foods to commercialize a range of innovative fungi-based products in Australia by 2025. The collaboration aims to produce large-scale quantities of mycelium protein by leveraging food industry sidestreams like grains and vegetable peels. Kinoko-Tech’s zero-waste process ensures that all inputs are part of the final product while producing minimal emissions. The company has highlighted that its mycelium protein is not only more environmentally friendly but also nutritionally superior, containing all nine essential amino acids and appealing to health-conscious consumers. The partnership with Metaphor Foods is just one step in the company’s broader strategy, which includes expansion into Europe and other regions like Southeast Asia. The startup is also working on reducing production costs to achieve price parity with traditional animal proteins.

Nutrition Rich, Sustainable Fungi-Based Foods Coming to Australia & NZ #kinokotech #mycelium #mushroom #altprotein #planetfoodnews Jasmin Ravid https://lnkd.in/gTxvvBSN

Israeli startup Kinoko-Tech has struck a deal with Metaphor Foods, the innovation arm of food ingredients and processing firm Hela, to produce minimally processed fungi-fermented foods across the Asia-Pacific region, starting in Australia. While multiple firms from Quorn and ENOUGH Foods to Meati Foods are growing fungi via biomass fermentation in pricey steel bioreactors to make meat analogs, Kinoko-Tech has patented a lower-cost solid state fermentation process in which it adds its (as yet undisclosed) fungi strains to legumes and grains in stacked trays to create high-protein whole foods with novel tastes and textures, says CEO Dr Jasmin Ravid . “The fungus eats away most of the carbohydrate, which elevates the protein content, but also transforms the protein [in the grains or legumes] into a complete protein. The protein is also more bioavailable as the fermentation disintegrates anti-nutrients in the legumes, plus there’s a lot of fiber in there. The other great thing is that the fungus creates structure so you don’t need to use binders—or in the case of protein bars, sugars—to hold everything together. You can also use less sodium.” AgFunder Kinoko-Tech #fermentation #fungi #foodtech

🍄🍔 KINOKO-TECH TO LAUNCH MYCELIUM MEAT, MUESLI AND MORE IN AUSTRALIA Mycelium protein startup Kinoko-Tech is gearing up to launch a new kind of protein that serves as an alternative to both meat and plant-based foods, as well as a base for innovative functional foods. The company has signed a strategic commercial agreement with Metaphor Foods, an accelerator and innovation arm of ingredient manufacturer Hela, to produce large-scale quantities of mycelium protein and supply it to manufacturers, ahead of a rollout in 2025. Kinoko-Tech’s clean-label “meat-like” products are highly nutritious and better for the planet, while tackling our growing food waste problem. Think burgers, sausages, patties, chunks and cubes rich in protein and fibre, but made by fungi fed on grains, lentils and often-discarded items like vegetable peels. “We are trying to get them to be meat-like but instead come in a way that is familiar for people to use,” explains co-founder and CEO Jasmin Ravid. “These products all have a very short ingredient list of substrate and mycelium. One example is patties of black lentils, mycelium, and salt. Another example is chickpea, vegetable cutoffs (side stream), mycelium, and spices.” Kinoko-Tech leverages solid-state fermentation in a process licensed from Yissum, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s tech transfer company. “The uniqueness of the technology is the ability to use locally supplied ingredients (including side streams) for the fermentation process,” says Ravid, who co-founded the startup with CTO Daria Feldman and COO Hadar Shohat in 2019. “This method efficiently converts the substrates into high-protein, fibrous products.” More information in the full article: https://lnkd.in/eDdHTfyM #GreenQueen #altprotein #mycelium #futurefood #foodtech #innovation #sustainability #nutrition

Thrilled to announce that this week Jasmin Ravid and Daria Feldman, proudly represented Kinoko-Tech at the launch of the Galilee Climate Innovation Center! This exciting new hub will foster collaboration, innovation, and sustainable solutions for the region. We were honored to showcase our latest development at the event: a new line of clean-label, unprocessed, and highly-tasting alternative protein snacks. The response was overwhelmingly positive! While the situation in northern Israel remains challenging, this new innovation center symbolizes our commitment to building a brighter future where people can thrive and live peacefully.
