Badan Riset Inovasi Nasional (BRIN) through Pusat Riset Mikrobiologi Terapan (PMRT) has collaborated with Meatless Kingdom to develop meat analogue that is based on cell mycoprotein as a new alternative protein, according to BRIN. Meatless Kingdom is an Indonesian company focusing on producing mushroom and plant-based food products since 2016.
The partnership will see BRIN conducting the research and Meatless Kingdom focusing on the mass production and market commercialization.
One of the aims of the collaboration is to address high incidences of protein malnutrition due to the limitation of animal protein production in Indonesia.
