How Quorn Uses Biotechnology to Produce Meat Substitutes
Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 08. 2024
- This video attempts to explain the biotechnology behind the company Quorn. It describes how the microfungus Fusarium venenatum grows and why it makes a good meat substitute. Further, this video describes how an airlift bioreactor works to allow continuous collection of biomass.
The information that this video is based on can be found on Quorn’s FDA filing, which is archived here: web.archive.or...

This video is not endorsed by or intended to represent the views of Quorn. It is merely one biologist’s interpretation of how the technology is likely to work.

Thank you for this!! I have been LOVING Quorn (the chiqin pieces specifically lol) but I wanted to understand more about it, their website was unhelpful so I really appreciate you explaining!! ❤
Interesting and thanks for explaining. However the end comments worried me as I don’t think life becomes progressively easier - I imagine early humans had much more time to sit around and enjoy themselves than we have in the relentless capitalist society. And as for finding a new planet to live on - yes, that speaks volumes about how what we call ‘progress’ is doing to our garden of Eden.
Interesting stuff, man! Thanks. There’s only one thing I’d like to add. It’s that in the future tecnology scenario you didn’t include the new world reality which means we won’t have all those resources available to create more technology. Marshall Vian Summers write a lot about this.
Just seems like a way to produce large quantities of high protein food utilizing inexpensive farm products.
The effort to use additives for the sake of raising the price and increasing sales seems like a deviation from the real beauty of this method.
Thanks for the helpful video!
Excellent presentation and delivery, thank you
This is a very good channel! Would be very excited to see more videos like this.
I'd love a consumer version of that machine
Apparently quorn was mistakenly found by one of Britians larger bakeries by mistake..... great video.
This is the first video I've seen that wasn't endorsed by Qourn, I really like their foods but I don't trust a companies' own explaination of their product. Great video!
Egg whites something means this is not vegan. Tasty tho. Still less stress on earth and water supply.
Thanks for sharing your study and knowledge. This video means a lot to me
Underrated Video. Thanks for the explanation Pal!
Thanks to you I feel smarter :D thank you for creating this channel. I think biotech is one of the most important branch of science. Keep on creating important educational stuff! Can't wait to learn more about tomorrow tech
Thanks for the encouragement Piotr! I think its cool tech also, so making the videos is easy!
I find the history of Quorn interesting since it was developed as a collaboration between Rank Hovis McDougall and ICI, not exactly companies driven by their ethics, animal wefare or vegetarian/vegan ideologies....in fact you might think the opposite, especially ICI, renowned for the extreme cruelty towards their laboratory animals.
Rationing in the UK during WW2, continued into the 50s and meat was the last of food items to come off rationing. This embedded the concept of shortage in British mentality and ideological discussions on how to tackle a predicted future with severe protein shortages gave impetus to research to find alternative protein sources. Saprophytes and autotrophs were targeted because of the potential to grow in vats like beer etc and as quorn and the new precision fermentation developed in Sweden.
However post war, broad leaved weeds herbicides took off enabling large field perennial monoculturing of crops, which instead of driving plant production for humans enabled feed production for livestock on a massive scale, and with the advent of intensive farming thats the disastrous path humans pursued. RHM/ICI collaboration continued, but without the original drive or investment, and it wasn't until a vegetarian market was a viable option, did Quorn enter the supermarkets in the mid 80s.
Interesting. I wonder why it causes allergies and intolerances in so many people.
Because many people are allergic to molds in general. In fact, many molds in this Fusarium genus have been found to be parasitic and quite toxic to humans.
Gluten and egg whites!!!
@@meman6964 i have no problem with gluten or egg whites, but i get severe food poisoning symptoms from quorn
Great video!
Thanks! Very cool stuff and presentation! Greetings from London :)
Thanks for the brief but thorough introduction to biotech! Just what I needed to really get started. Do you know where I can find more information about these factories?
Yes avoid its all trash food. Never consume what is advertised on TV if you want to keep n stay healthy as cancer is now 1 in 2 not 1 in 3 n Western nations infertility rates have sky rocketed. Itv news bulletin said. Ask yourself why?
Question of water usage (comparison with cattle) missing in video. Thanks nevertheless.
awesome video! Thanks for spending the time making this and sharing.
Thanks for the video! Just last night we had Quorn burgers -- they're delicious! I buy the vegan option for burgers, fish sticks and buffalo nuggets.
I’m just looking for ideas to be able to incorporate my own ideas to make A new meat substitute, thank you, your video contributes to the carbon crisis!
Thanks for the video! Excellent explication:D Greetings from Mexico
Very interesting and what about water consumption?
Awesome video!! Earned my subscription. Now if only I could find Quorn more often at Grocery Outlet 🤣
Thanks. Great explanation.
Thanks, great video!
Thanks You Very Much for educating us on QUORN a New tasty Plant based vegan Meat. Also , One of the Top Vegan Doctors Michael Greger pointed out a study that Quorn actually aids in Lowering Bad Cholesterol
So it is possible to use a 25 L of water homemade system, to produce 25 gr. per hour so you have 250 gr in 10 ours. It looks something interesting to do.
Great video. Thanks for doing this.
If you couple this with lifeless starch synthesis and aminoacid synthesis, we are in for a food partially decoupled from ecosystems, and if the energy source for those inputs is not realtime (solar, wind) or past (fossil fuels) solar energy, we would be paving the way to an awful- but unfortunately needed- artificial environment
Great video, thank you
i work at the quorn plant at teesside in g.b. its a interesting plant and process and is expanding as we talk
Was it exposed to radiation?
do they do factory tours?
5:35 why would you have to kill the fusarium?
Great video
Я как-то делал реактор и выращивал хлорелу, а потом смотрел на состав клеток в зависимости от питательной среды
Very interesting!
Very good video, great job!
Really interesting - nice job.
I've had ovarian cancer, which I'm now clear of, for two years. Is it safe, after you've had cancer, please?
Generally soy based products are problematic for people that are prone to hormonal issues, cancers, etc. Since Quorn products are soy-free I would say these are better than soy based alternative proteins.
Quorn is a great product, thanks for sharing!
Sure if you like synthesized fake meat created by biII gates
Now. that sounds awesome, but !!!
Most corn is genetically modified, specially in the USA.
What’s the health rick with that?
Thank you for the video.
thank you, very interesting video :)
I alsways had pain when eat Quorn... then i started throwing up...
I am alergic to that and i also dont like not naturall food
Well I hope you don’t eat any beef, pork, chicken, Turkey, or any cruciferous vegetables, strawberries, almonds, or pretty much any other food we bred out of!
Nothing we eat is natural, dude. My o protein is literally from a kind of mushroom, it’s just as natural.
If you’re allergic, then you’re allergic, but don’t claim that it’s bad for you because it’s “unnatural”
Thank you for the video. I had quorn today for the first time. I enjoyed the taste but it upset my stomach
Hi Tyler, i'm very interested in being able to set up plant production. If you could give me some contact to talk about this
I will appreciate it very much
Sounds very "safe and effective"... enjoy!
I love the stuff
Cool video
Eating it right now for the first time as an experiment. Tastes like chicken. Smells like chicken. Texture is off but it’s not bad.
👍🏻👍🏻 👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks !
Its a lie saying this is more nutritious than real meat. Real meat absorbs vitamins and minerals and even produces them naturally. Not only that but if you NEED meat like I do, this stuff just causes fibro inflammation. It did not satisfy either. It was like eating cardboard filler like a meat loaf without meat.
Overall, real meat is the best way to go. If people like this stuff, let them eat it. I want real nutrient dense food that wont trigger inflammation and not empty filler saturated with vegetable oil.
Quorn rocks, it's a yummy and healthy food, no need to eat chickens and other poor animals.
Putting gluten into it is a really bad "blue", not well thought out at all.
We don't need to prolong the human race, or try to colonise other planets.
Normalise the audio, you're barely audible.
Thank god! Finally, all those farmers will be able to stop screwing around and get real jobs as astronauts and social media influencers!
He’s kinda hot .
He's one good lookin guy
Whats up. Instant turn-off.
But why do people eat this crap to mimic the texture and flavour of it if they chosen not to eat meat it’s just so pointless and they are all fooling themselves as they enjoy the taste of meat... I’m a meat eater and when meat have turned me I won’t eat it for a while so the last thing I will be thinking is let’s go and eat some quorn as it’s not meat but tastes like it
Dogs Bollocks do you have any pets?
People eat this as they still enjoy meat, they just don’t enjoy how it is made. Vegetarians/vegans still like the taste of it.
@@isabelsterrow4726 but people should not like it if they think it tastes like meat as it’s a substitute flavour for dead animal, see I like meat but sometimes it also turns me especially beef but I eat all meat in moderation, but when beef turns me I can’t look at the stuff and the last thing I would do is eat a substitute for meat... So if people love animals that much the craving to have the flavour of their flesh should turn them off eating it... See if I did not like eating fish as I felt sorry for them the last thing I would do is find a substitute flavour for it.
@@darkshaman7087 I understand what you’re trying to say, however for some people it makes the transition easier and faster, meat substitutes aren’t supposed to be the exact same, they are slightly different
@@isabelsterrow4726 see if did not want to eat meat I would stop as that is the only way and start eating veggies, fruit nuts etc and forget eating fungi that comes from earth but that in me I suppose.
