PRECISION FERMENTATION

Brewing health ingredients at scale

Precision fermentation is the process of programming microorganisms to act as microscopic single-cell factories, converting simple feedstock sugars into complex, nature-identical molecules with remarkable precision and consistency. This sustainable technology enables the production of high-value, functional ingredients that were previously unavailable at
commercial scale.

Microbial host

A precisely engineered microorganism acts as a single-cell factory, programmed to convert feedstock sugars into complex, nature-identical molecules.

Cultivation

The engineered microbial host is cultivated under tightly controlled conditions in a bioreactor.

Purification

Following fermentation, the target molecule is isolated and refined during the downstream purification process.

High-value ingredient

The result is a high-value health ingredient, such as a GlycoActiveTM HMO, ready for formulation across a wide range of applications.
