Potential product side streams in plant molecular farming. Most often the primary product constitutes less than 1% of the biomass produced during upstream processing. Opportunities arise for additional revenue when biomass side streams, especially proteins and small molecules, are included in the valorization, which broadens the diversity of the value chain. An integration with existing facilities, e.g., biogas plants, may be required for a cost-effective processing of side products with low margin.
