Mycovation: Mycelium to order...
Next up was Shiva Susarla, CEO at Singapore-based Mycovation, which makes mycelium-based products that partners can use in a variety of products including meat alternatives.
“Our USP is the customization,” said Susarla, who says the company has a mantra called ‘VANS’ (vegan, affordable, nutritious, and sustainable).
“When fermented using different technologies [solid state, liquid state etc], you can get different textures, functionality, nutrition and flavor... So if you want a pink colored mycelial flour with 40% protein and 18% fiber, we identify the right strain and the right substrate.”
