Products
Processing-stable spore-forming probiotic formulation
Spore-forming probiotic designed for processing resilience (survives high-heat processes and pasteurization) with supporting clinical evidence for digestive and immune outcomes.
Psychobiotic strain developed for mental-wellness applications
Probiotic strain investigated in clinical studies for effects on stress resilience, sleep and related biomarkers.
Enzymatic pretreatment for high-FFA biodiesel feedstocks
Enzymatic catalyst to convert free fatty acids to usable esters, enabling processing of waste feedstocks with elevated FFA and reducing chemical pretreatment.
Yeast platform technologies for industrial fermentation
Yeast strains and enzyme combinations engineered to improve ethanol and high-solids fermentation yields, reduce by-product formation and shorten fermentation time.
Signaling-molecule-based promoter technologies and seed/foliar treatments
Agricultural formulations that stimulate nodulation, mycorrhizal associations and root development, supplied as seed treatments, soil or foliar applications.
Ingredient systems for improved plant-based beverage texture and stability
Ingredient systems to improve foam quality, coffee stability and protein content in plant-based drinks, enabling better barista performance and higher-protein formulations.
