Transforming circular economy by-products into planet friendly mycoprotein.
This is our recipe for a sustainable food system that enables healthy and tasty diets for all.
PEKILO® is a highly nutritious mycoprotein with neutral taste and color. As a versatile and sustainable source of nutrients, PEKILO® makes an ideal drop-in ingredient for aquafeed, pet food, and food production.
PEKILO® mycoprotein is an ideal drop-in ingredient for the food industry seeking a sustainable protein source with neutral taste and color. PEKILO® contains up to 55% of protein, a balanced amino acid profile, omega-6 and 35% of fiber. Its versatility, nutritional value and functionalities make it one of a kind.

Fungi have been a natural part of the human diet for millennia, but still offer much untapped potential. Today, we humans derive our protein from plants or animals. Fungi form a kingdom completely apart, being neither plants nor animals. They can offer us the best of both worlds and more!
Fungal mycoprotein matches the nutritional quality of animal protein. Fungi create completely new protein, distinguishing them from animals that simply convert plant-derived protein.
The production of mycoprotein is sustainable and ethical like that of plant proteins – and even better. Producing PEKILO® mycoprotein requires no new agricultural land, minimal water, leads to no nutrient runoff and thus has a very low environmental footprint.
compared to imported soy protein. Our mycoprotein is sustainably produced from side streams using minimal water and land.

Alternative protein solutions are nothing new to us. PEKILO® mycoprotein has been in industrial production already during 1975–1991. With a production process optimised for efficiency, applications are only limited by imagination.

“We are very happy to start cooperation with Enifer. We believe that there is an increased need for alternative proteins as the global population grows. Demand is also supported globally by environmental and ethical considerations. Taaleri Bioindustry Fund I’s investment enables commercial scale production. We are confident in Enifer’s opportunities to expand,” comments Tero Saarno, Managing Director, Taaleri Bioindustry.
