Overview

This review assesses cyanophycin production in plants, highlighting environmental safety and consumer preferences.

Key Points

  • This review aims to evaluate the feasibility, environmental safety, and consumer acceptance of biopolymer cyanophycin production in plants.
  • Assessment of cyanophycin production in tobacco and potato plants
  • Analysis of greenhouse and field production events
  • Evaluation of isolation processes and storage conditions
  • Conducting a consumer choice analysis across four European countries
  • Cyanophycin content can exceed 10% dry weight in greenhouse conditions and yield 4 g per plant in the field
  • Risk assessment showed no significant environmental or consumer safety differences compared to isogenic controls
  • Consumers preferred biodegradable CGP in food-wrapping materials over conventional plastics
  • Economic feasibility data remains to be analyzed
