quorn is a source of protein derived from?
fusarium venenatum fungus
all quorn foods contain mycoprotein as an ingredient, which is derived from the "fusarium venenatum" fungus and is grown by fermentation. in most quorn products, the fungus culture is dried and mixed with egg albumen, which acts as a binder, and then is adjusted in texture and pressed into various forms. a vegan formulation also exists that uses potato protein as a binder instead of egg albumen.









































quorn was launched in 1985 by marlow foods, a joint venture between rank hovis mcdougall (rhm) and imperial chemical industries (ici), and is now owned by monde nissin corporation.
