A new way of making unlimited protein-based feed

Unibio has developed a technology that can produce almost unlimited amounts of protein through fermentation. This ensures a clean and sustainable product approved as feed for animal-, fish- and petfood.

With the world’s population growing and conventional food ingredients becoming increasingly scarce, we need to improve food security. This, coupled with a growing demand for more sustainable sources, requires us to rethink how today’s food is produced.

Unlimited protein production

The Danish protein-company Unibio has developed a technology that can produce almost unlimited amounts of protein through fermentation – replicating a natural process happening every day.

Through fermentation, Uniprotein® – a highly concentrated and nutritious protein – is derived and can be used as a direct ingredient in petfood and in diets for animals and fish. Uniprotein® is approved as feed for animal, aqua/fish, and pet food in the EU, and is now under development for human consumption.

Unibio uses the patented U-Loop® technology, a continuous-flow fermentation process that allows for a high conversion-rate and efficient utilisation of gases, all within an economically viable production framework. Through its proprietary process, the gases are converted to protein that is subsequently treated and purified to a nutritious, high-quality protein.

Today, Unibio has taken the technology to industrial scale and is rolling it out globally.

Using fermentation to produce protein ensures a product where water usage is low, quality is consistent and no arable land is needed.

Ensuring food sustainability

Using fermentation to produce protein ensures a product where water usage is low, quality is consistent and no arable land is needed.

The protein from Unibio is comparable to fishmeal or soy, the two primary protein sources mainly used in animal feed. Substituting these with Uniprotein® offers a more reliable approach to animal nutrition and contributes to global food security.
