Climate change and environmental impacts from greenhouse gas emissions have spurred on efforts to reduce these emissions. Meat production, especially cattle, is a significant contributor, releasing methane—a far more potent than CO2—and driving deforestation for pastureland. As sustainable alternative, Single-Cell Protein (SCP), derived microorganisms like bacteria, yeast, algae, offers high nutritional value with lower impact. SCP production has advanced through process optimization, the use of eco-friendly substrates such as agro-industrial food waste, cultivation safe classified Generally Regarded Safe (GRAS). Innovations in flavor texture, including myoglobin natural polymers mimic meat properties, further improved SCP’s appeal. Despite advances, challenges remain optimizing parameters, enhancing sensory acceptance, ensuring regulatory compliance market introduction. This review explores potential serve protein source, addressing both concerns demands. It highlights recent advancements techniques improvements while discussing their role environmentally friendly health-conscious systems. stands out promising solution reducing emissions, offering an efficient alternative conventional sources.
