New Food Raw Material Development

An integrated approach towards strategy formulation in the food and beverage sector emphasize on Public-Private-Partnerships (PPP) to drive cuts in costs while enhancing the experience of the consumer. new food raw materials (NFRM) are strategically devised to effectively serve food producers, consumers, and stakeholders. They entail changes in particular policies and methods that guide the capture, transformation, and delivery of these raw materials. Value capture is aggrandized either through the use of existing food and biological by-products or the amalgamation of different types of technologies in transforming these by-products into superfluous raw materials.

The pace at which the world population is expected to reach and exceed 9 billion suggests that climate change will make existing industries unsustainable as they stand now. Conventional practices contribute to agri-businesses accounting for 30% of emissions while 70% accounts for the withdrawal of freshwater. At present, there are significant changes occurring in preference towards ethical and nutrient rich clean label ingredients, which is a change set to deeply transform food production.

Service Overview

Our new food raw meal development service is fully researched in the aim of optimizing and commercializing advanced proprietary ingredients that respond to the needs of the food and beverage industry. The initiative is crafted towards Startups, food manufacturers and even research institutions and focuses on the valorization of biomass where residues from agriculture, algae and even microbial cells are transformed into useful materials.

• Precision Fermentation: Involves metabolic engineering of microorganisms for the production of proteins, lipids, and other bioactive substances.
• Cellular Agriculture: Refers to the production of plants and animal tissue in vitro for ingredient development without slaughtering animals.
• AI-Enhanced Bioprospecting: Involves the search for new enzymes and bioactive molecules in extremophiles and other neglected ecosystems.

Our process comprises integration of iterative R&D cycles, life cycle assessments (LCAs), and compliance with regulatory frameworks to achieve market readiness and scalability.

Technical Principles

• Synthetic Biology & Strain Engineering: We genetically modify microbial chassis like Yarrowia lipolytica and Bacillus subtilis. For example, our proprietary Y. lipolytica strain is engineered to overexpress Δ12-desaturase enzymes for omega-3 fatty acid production at titers of 15 g/L—an improvement of 200% compared to wild-type strains.
• Enzymatic Conversion Systems: Our immobilized enzyme reactors use thermostable cellulases and laccases to convert lignocellulosic wastes into fermentable sugars. Pilot trials have shown 92% conversion efficiency for wheat straw under mild conditions (pH 5.5, 50 °C), leading to reduced pretreatment energy costs of 40%.

• Computational Modeling: ML algorithms define the best fermentation conditions (i.e. pH, dissolved oxygen) for microbial systems. A particular case study finished implementing optimization techniques for fermenting Aspergillus niger in 3 weeks instead of 6 months and received a 25% increase in the amount of citric acid produced.

Technical Features

• Resource Efficiency: Our continuous fermentation systems use 60% less water versus batch processes.
• Tailored Functionality: Protein engineering by molecular dynamics simulation enables the development of heat-stable leghemoglobin (denaturation temperature 85°C versus native forms 65°C) suitable for plant meat.
• Zero Waste Integration: Spent microbial biomass is transformed into biodegradable packaging materials, achieving 99% utilization of feedstock.

Technical Categories

Plant-Based Innovations

• Example: Gene-modified duckweed (Lemna minor) containing overexpressed RuBisCO and producing protein concentrates at 80% purity.

Microbial Fermentation

• Case Study: Recombinant bovine lactoferrin production in Komagataella phaffii was performed with a titer of 8 g/L, which is 150% above the industry standard.

Cellular Agriculture

• Breakthrough: Inexpensive serum media for in vitro synthesis of cocoa butter that are 55% less expensive while possessing fatty acid compositions identical to conventional sources.

Waste Upcycling

• Innovation: Enzymatic transformation of spent grain from breweries into flour for free-style bread making packed with β-glucans.

Application Areas

• Alternative Proteins: Scaffolds functioning as mycoprotein and imitating marbled beef by 3D bioprinting.
• Nutraceuticals: Functional food with anti-inflammatory properties because of the use of microalgae astaxanthin extracts.
• Clean Label Additives: Natural blue dyes from Spirulina platensis that replace artificial colorants FD & C dyes.

Environmental Benefits

• Carbon Neutrality: Algae grown in our photobioreactors capture 3.2 kg of CO₂per kg of biomass produced, as certified by the Carbon Trust.
• Land Conservation: Vertical farming systems enable a reduction in land expenditure by 95% when juxtaposed with soybean farming.
• Water Stewardship: Closed-loop fermentation systems attain a 90% water recycling rate, as confirmed by the Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) standards.
