The high demand of proteins and the misuse, abuse and scarcity of traditional protein resources has led to an urgent need of finding novel protein sources
Summary
In the last few decades, the European Union (EU) has started to be more aware about greenhouse gas emissions and several EU countries are collectively trying to find solutions to solve this persisting issue. The EU is determined to find alternative sources for proteins, and such new sources so far include (amongst others), algae, microorganisms and insects. An additional application of these novel protein sources can be found in animal feeding and food for humans [2].
