Lunch & Learn – Natural Colours through Fungi Fermentation: sustainable innovation in progress

During this Lunch & Learn session, Jasper Meijer – Researcher Biobased Building Blocks & Products at MNEXT – will showcase examples from ongoing research, including projects like TUFUCOL. This innovative project explores the potential of fungi to produce eco-friendly colours through fermentation, focusing on applications such as sustainable alternatives to synthetic dyes.

You’ll also gain insights into MNEXT’s integrated approach to strain optimization, fermentation techniques, and chemical refinement of colour properties. Discover how collaborations with research institutions, SMEs, and industry partners are driving the industrialization of fungal colourants and bridging the gap between science and practical applications.
