Precision Fermentation
We use microorganisms to manufacture lactoferrin — a dairy-based functional ingredient that can enhance everyday food products and much more.
Identify & Code
Our scientists isolate the genetic sequence for lactoferrin and select the appropriate microbes as hosts for the DNA insertion.
Grow & Produce
The microbes are placed in fermentation vessels and supplied with nutrients, directing them to produce the target ingredient.
Purify & Inspect
We separate the produced ingredient from the microbial cells and conduct rigorous safety validation.
Distribute
Partners receive the purified ingredient — LF+ — for incorporation into their products.
Cellular Agriculture
Our cellular agriculture platform aims to produce cell-derived dairy proteins, complex carbohydrates, and eventually complete milk — while reducing environmental impact.
Obtaining
Mammary gland cells are harvested from various sources, including existing milk supplies.
Multiplying
Cells are expanded in growth media, then transferred to our proprietary lactation media that simulates conditions within living mammals.
Creating
The cells convert lactation media into milk products, enabling production of naturally occurring milk ingredients.
