Beneficial microorganisms for gut health
The food industry faces pressure for sustainable sourcing, clean labels, and consistent nutrition. Our platform addresses these through precision fermentation of food-grade compounds.
Many nutritional ingredients depend on vulnerable supply chains affected by climate, geopolitics, and trade. Microbial fermentation provides domestic, year-round production independent of these factors.
Consumer preference for recognizable ingredients drives reformulation. Fermentation-derived compounds meet clean-label requirements while maintaining nutritional value and function.
Food production must reduce environmental impact. Engineered microorganisms enable more efficient nutrient production with lower land, water, and carbon footprints than traditional agriculture.
Platform Approach
40% faster development
We engineer food-grade microorganisms for nutritional ingredients and food additives. Our GRAS-status platforms enable clean-label alternatives to animal-derived and chemically synthesized compounds with full regulatory compliance.
Develop high-efficiency production platforms for lysine, methionine, threonine, and tryptophan through systematic metabolic engineering.
Engineer strains for vitamin B12, folate, beta-carotene, and vitamin K2 as sustainable alternatives to chemical synthesis.
Produce proteases, amylases, lipases, and lactases for food processing with improved stability and specificity.
Engineer microbial systems for ACE-inhibitory peptides, glutathione precursors, and immunomodulatory sequences for functional foods.
Enhance beneficial properties of Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Bacillus species for gut health applications.
Produce anthocyanins, betalains, and carotenoids through fermentation to replace synthetic food dyes.
Why the food industry is adopting fermentation-derived ingredients
| Parameter | Chemical Inputs | Synthetic Biology |
|---|---|---|
| Production Consistency | Variable yields from agricultural conditions | Standardized fermentation, consistent quality |
| Resource Efficiency | Intensive crop production with land/water use | Efficient bioreactor-based production |
| Supply Chain Risk | Seasonal availability and storage requirements | Year-round production with extended shelf life |
| Safety Profile | Natural sources may harbor pathogens | Controlled sterile production conditions |
| Traceability | Complex supply chains with limited visibility | Complete traceability from strain to ingredient |

Get answers to common questions about our food and nutrition solutions. our team for project-specific inquiries.
We maintain GRAS-status hosts including Bacillus subtilis, Lactobacillus species, and food-grade yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Kluyveromyces marxianus) selected for product requirements and regulatory status.
Yes, we have extensive GRAS determination, food contact substance notification, and FSMA compliance documentation experience. Our regulatory team prepares comprehensive safety assessments and specifications.
Yes, we transfer complex biosynthetic pathways from animal, plant, or marine sources to microbial systems, enabling vegan, kosher, and halal certifications for traditionally animal-sourced compounds.
We maintain dedicated facilities for allergen-sensitive compounds with cleaning validation, segregation protocols, and testing for common allergens (milk, egg, soy, wheat, peanut, tree nuts, fish, shellfish).
Regulatory classification depends on your final product and modification approach. We can engineer strains using methods that may qualify for streamlined review (e.g., self-cloning, site-directed mutagenesis). Our regulatory team provides guidance on FDA GRAS, EFSA Novel Food Regulation, and FSSC 22000 requirements during the project design phase to ensure your strain aligns with your intended regulatory pathway.
