Scaling up fermentation processes often faces issues like off-flavors in food production. Traditional monitoring methods are limited to basic metrics like pH, oxygen concentration and turbidity. The FEVIS project aims to revolutionize this using optical spectroscopy for real-time monitoring and process control. The goal is to create a real-time control tool that improves safety, increases yields, and enhances resource efficiency in microbial food production and ingredient alternatives

The project links to SENSOREN and DIGITAL TWIN as it aim to improve production yield, avoid spoilage of feedstocks by eliminating failed production runs and elevate product quality. Mission A3, The project assists in leveraging side-streams for formation of food-based ingredients. Mission A4, FEVIS aids in novel process development to produce novel sustainable protein sources fit such as precision fermentation (Gingko Bioworks and Puratos) and food production from side streams (MushLabs) for human consumption in a safer way by ensuring high quality control using this Information-intensive technology. Mission B6, This project contributes in more efficient use of raw biomaterials or fiber containing side-streams in general from plant-protein crops. Mission D3, FEVIS will assist in the transition to a non-animal protein diet and thereby indirectly reduced the requirement for animal protein production. Mission D4, FEVIS will ensure the most information rich technology available to our knowledge will be implemented for optimization of fermentation process efficiency and quality control. Thereby ensuring minimization of energy, water and raw materials use as well as enabling use of this tool to observe any process deviations which in turn may indicate any food safety risks.
