A rise in population and societal changes have increased pressure on resources required to meet the growing demand for food changing dietary preferences. The increasing animal protein is concerning raises questions regarding sustainability due its environmental impact. Subsequently, scientists seek alternative proteins, such as microbial proteins (MPs), an environmentally friendly choice. production of MPs promotes benefits, including reducing deforestation CO2 emissions. Several microorganism types, bacteria, yeast, fungi, algae, use a variety substrates MP production, from agricultural residues lignocellulosic biomass. These complex substrates, biomass, are converted fermentable sugar through either chemical, physical, or biological methods. Indeed, fermentation can occur submerged cultures other However, this depends substrate microorganisms being utilized. properties that make them versatile useful ingredients various applications. Using biomass raw materials producing offers sustainability, cost-effectiveness, waste reduction advantages. consistent with principles established by green chemistry, which aims conserve effectively operate sustainably all areas. This review highlights importance studying manufacturing aspects characteristics associated MPs, be implemented solve problems encourage novel methods global food/feed industry.
