Torula yeast could play dual roles in swine diets, potentially serving to replace both antibiotics and certain costly proteins, according to a new study from the University of Illinois.
Arbiom uses microbial fermentation to transform carbohydrates from wood biomass and residues into a single-cell protein yeast that can be added to food and feed.

“If you walk in a forest, you see mushrooms growing on living trees and we took inspiration from that,” said Marc Chevrel, CEO of US-headquartered start-up Arbiom. “The mushroom is going to release enzymes to make the wood palatable to it and then use it to produce food. We are doing that but in a more systematic, efficient, and industrial way to close the protein gap.”

Torula yeast (Cyberlindnera jadinii) feed on woody biomass left as waste or residues from making wood products. Researchers can extract protein from those yeast. For pet food, torula yeast may have an advantage over other novel proteins.

Arbiom’s technology represents a major breakthrough for the food and forestry industries, creating new protein from wood. Read the latest in Bio Market Insights feature on Arbiom as part of the Feedstocks Spotlight series:
Spotlight on feedstocks: Arbiom’s wood-to-food technology platform
According to Arbiom, an agtech ingredient development company, wood is ready for prime time as a human-consumable source of protein.
In North Carolina, Arbiom, an AgTech company developing solutions to convert wood into food and feed products, said its first commercial protein ingredient, SylPro, can successfully be included in alternative meat applications.
Dr Ekmay explains how Arbiom has developed technology which uses primarily sawdust and woodchips discarded from paper mills to create a nutrient-dense feed suitable for livestock.
Arbiom, which is developing technology to convert wood into feed and food, says it has just completed successful trials of its protein product, SylPro, for weanling pig nutrition.

Arbiom says its wood-to-food protein demonstrates lower impact on climate change compared to other proteins, making it one potential candidate to plug the protein gap.

The production process of ingredients for fish feed, including fishmeal and plant-based protein alternatives such as soybean, has significant implications for land and water use and greenhouse gas emissions. It contributes to climate change and biodiversity loss. With such challenges and rising concerns over food security, the use of sustainable sources of protein in animal feed, including fish feed, is becoming more appealing. Supported by the EU-funded SYLFEED project, researchers and industrial partners have completed scientific studies demonstrating the effectiveness of SylPro as an alternative protein ingredient for use in aquafeed…Link to full article from Phys.Org
