You'll be amazed at the variety. It holds bread, coffee, tea, beer, cheese, corn and salami. 00:00:00
Whether fungus is used to pre-ferment malt for the manufacture of beer or for preparing coffee beans before roasting, 00:00:07
it's used in their production process. 00:00:13
Many other products, for example coffee beans, are also used in their production process. 00:00:15
Many other products, for example coffee beans, are also used in their production process. 00:00:20
Many other products, for example coffee beans, are also used in their production process. 00:00:24
Many other products, for example coffee beans, are also used in their production process. 00:00:28
And then of course there are fresh mushrooms themselves. 00:00:33
One might even wonder what's not made using fungus. 00:00:36
But there's no need to go running to the woods for mushrooms today, 00:00:40
because they can be grown in all seasons to supply industrial applications. 00:00:43
Here we're in our cold room. 00:00:49
Here the final products are stored and cooled completely for one or two days before packaging, 00:00:53
because this product is alive and it must not warm up during transport. 00:00:58
This living product, substrate, is simply sown with the right strain of fungus and then you just wait. 00:01:04
Growing mushrooms and fungus is very easy. 00:01:11
All you need is the right substrate. 00:01:15
Then you pierce holes in the sacks and the mushrooms grow. 00:01:17
After that you simply harvest them and put them in a basket and you can sell lovely mushrooms. 00:01:21
But it's a risky business because it requires a substrate with absolutely no contamination. 00:01:30
Otherwise you can simply discard the entire harvest and it takes 20 weeks to grow shiitake mushrooms, for example. 00:01:35
So you only realize that they've been contaminated 20 weeks later and your losses are enormous. 00:01:41
Many farmers underestimate the difficulty of producing substrates for different kinds of mushroom. 00:01:49
If they're exposed to contamination for several months, 00:01:54
there's no way to recover and the company goes bankrupt. 00:01:57
In addition, the traditional manufacture of the product is something like an enormous kitchen recipe. 00:02:01
This is particularly difficult for small business because it requires a huge amount of handling time and energy. 00:02:06
Throughout the entire process, a means must be found to ensure better sterility of the product and to save time and energy. 00:02:12
Ours is a very small company. 00:02:23
So we don't have a large research budget. 00:02:26
For some time now, we've been thinking about working with European partners. 00:02:29
In fact, we have already done joint projects with the EU in the past 00:02:33
and the results of the previous research were completely satisfying. 00:02:38
So we thought we could try again for this bulk substrate manufacturing project. 00:02:43
The bulk substrate project groups small businesses from Belgium, Germany, Spain, Ireland, Malta, Norway, Italy and Israel. 00:02:50
The research that began in January 2004 also included two research centers, 00:02:59
the Catholic Higher Educational Institute in Ghent, Belgium, and the WAM Institute in Rome, Italy. 00:03:04
One of the objectives targeted by the partners was to replace this crucial stage of production. 00:03:10
The European Union has already started the process of manufacturing the bulk substrate. 00:03:15
The bulk substrate is a cooperative research project that costs 1,945,000 euro 00:03:20
and the European Union contributed 1,008,000 euro. 00:03:26
One of the objectives targeted by the partners was to replace this crucial stage of production. 00:03:31
As you can see, the people here wear sterile clothing to avoid contaminating the product. 00:03:48
Let's go and see the place where we open the sacks. 00:03:53
This is where we inoculate the substrate with the right strain of fungus. 00:03:56
The few seconds during which the sack is open are enough to produce contamination unless we're extremely careful. 00:04:01
This is why we've tried to eliminate the stage in the new process. 00:04:06
In addition, as you can see, the traditional process takes a lot of time. 00:04:11
This is the result of the collaboration between eight SMEs and two research centers. 00:04:17
In principle, this is a combination of existing machines and new technologies. 00:04:22
The raw material is injected into a dust-free tank. 00:04:30
In a mixer, steam is injected into the mixture. 00:04:35
After sterilization, we cool the product. 00:04:40
Then we inoculate it, and the material is transported under aseptic conditions to the filling station, 00:04:45
where it's put in plastic bags. 00:04:50
There's only one thing in common between the old method and the new, supplying the machine. 00:04:55
Everything else is done automatically. 00:05:00
But above all, in a closed, aseptic environment. 00:05:05
The operation takes less time and, moreover, consumes much less energy. 00:05:10
What's changed? 00:05:15
On the outside, nothing, because the final product is similar to what it's always been. 00:05:20
However, our objective is to limit energy and labor costs, thanks to the new system. 00:05:25
Traditionally, we needed 36 hours for production. 00:05:31
And with the new system, we think we can cut it down to only five hours. 00:05:36
The Norwegian company, Mio, grows mushrooms, amongst other things, 00:05:45
and is particularly pleased with the performance of the prototype. 00:05:50
The project has enabled us to save energy, 00:05:55
but what really interests us is the sterilization provided by the machine. 00:06:00
Our company also makes cheese, 00:06:05
and soon we want to come out with a new range of products, cheese with mushrooms. 00:06:10
After all, certain mushrooms have the property of reducing the quantity of fat absorbed by the organism 00:06:15
when they're mixed with certain naturally fatty foods, like cheese. 00:06:21
There's no doubt mushrooms can have a variety of uses. 00:06:26
Fungus and plant extracts can play an important role in animal feed, 00:06:31
because they can be used as alternatives for antibiotics. 00:06:36
And as you know, antibiotics in animal feed will be prohibited on the 1st of January 2006. 00:06:41
The advantage for the producer is that you can reliably invest in a food additive 00:06:51
that does not fall under the future prohibition of antibiotics. 00:06:56
The market is huge. 00:07:03
Europe, with 25 member states, spends at least 600 million euros a year on antibiotics for animal feed. 00:07:08
Each partner had its own requirements, 00:07:13
but we have a single prototype. 00:07:18
This is why we've developed a very elaborate machine, 00:07:23
and that's the real advantage of this type of project. 00:07:28
I believe I can speak for all partners 00:07:37
when I say that we've come to the end of a very enriching collaboration 00:07:42
that's been a dream come true for us all. 00:07:47
