Novel Proteins
- Synopsis
- Looks at some new developments in the food industry starting with single cell proteins from mineral oil and leaf protein from lucerne. Compares the economics of producing these materials for animal feed with traditional feedstuffs such as soya and fishmeal. Considers the use of textured soya as a meat analogue from the point of view of commercial companies efforts to market the product and economic advantages of using soya to institutonal catering such as school meals. The problem with soya is that it is not grown in Britain, but if soya can be texturised then other things like single cell protein can also be texturised. Discusses the possibilities of using both single cell protein and leaf protein for human foods.

- NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
