Upgraded Plant Proteins

Fermenting quinoa, chickpea, oat, and even microalgae (Chlorella vulgaris + oat) with oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) boosted their nutritional and functional qualities for food production. The process improved protein solubility, gelling, emulsifying, and oil-absorption capacities, making the ingredients healthier and more versatile in plant-based products.
