In this study, Phaseolus vulgaris (kidney bean) leghemoglobin a (PhLba) gene was cloned into pPICZαA and expressed in Pichia pastoris to sustainably produce a heme-carrying protein for organoleptic use in plant-based meat. The recombinant PhLba protein was secreted into the culture medium in a solubilized form, and the molecular weight of the purified PhLba was estimated to be 16.5 kDa using SDS-PAGE. In addtion, the yield of recombinant PhLba holoprotein was enhanced by supplementation of the cultivation medium with hemin. This result indicates that the apo-forms of PhLba can be effectively saturated with cofactor.
