What is Solein®?

Solar Foods’ Solein® is a unique microbial protein-rich powder that’s created by a fermentation process that utilises air and electricity as its primary resources. Solein is a food grown without traditional agriculture or fossil fuels: therefore it can be produced in harsh environments where traditional food production is not possible, such as deserts, Arctic areas or even outer space.

Based on a lifecycle analysis study, Solein’s comparative greenhouse gas emissions are approximately 1% that of meat protein and about 20% of plant protein production. It also takes just a fraction of the amount of water to produce Solein in comparison.

Solein contains all the essential amino acids, provides iron and B vitamins and is exceptionally functional: it vanishes into foods and doesn’t change the taste of familiar, everyday food products. Solein can be used to replace existing proteins in a variety of foods, for example in alternative dairy and meat, different snacks and beverages, noodles and pasta, or breads and spreads.

In short, Solein is a revolutionary leap in food science and presents all of humanity an opportunity to reap a previously undiscovered harvest.
