Sophie's Bionutrients

the grand prize winner of the 2019 the liveability challenge is unlocking macro-nutrients at the micro-level!! food grade protein from microalgae is relatively a new and unheard of opportunity in alternative protein. the key challenges include, 1. to grow the protein at a cost low enough, and 2. to extract the protein to the purity that you can make it into plant milk and plant meat. we can do all that. we are developing a new sustainable plant-based protein out of microalgae. we have a proprietary strain of microalgae which can grow in a fermentation tank, be fed on various food waste, and could be harvested in just 3 days. our microalgae has 60% of protein which has high quality essential amino acids profile, exceeding who requirements for protein products. this can be a sustainable food source due to, 1. not much land mass is needed, and you can do it indoor (no deforestation), 2. 90%+ of the water can be recycled. very little water is used. 3. production cycle is fast, only 3-10
