MYCOCIRCLE focuses on transforming fungal biomass into sustainable alternatives for animal-derived materials used in cosmetics and agrochemicals. The project aims to develop innovative processes for extracting high-value products from fungal waste, addressing ethical and environmental concerns.
Animal-derived materials are surprisingly widespread in everyday products.
For example, in the cosmetics, pharmaceutical and agrochemicals industries, squalene (from shark liver oil), chitin/chitosan (from crustaceans) and animal-derived proteins and fats are widely exploited despite growing ethical and sustainability concerns.Fungal biomass is rich in chitin, while recent advances in fermentation technologies offer opportunities to convert fungal glucans into microbial proteins, oils and even t…
