A $3.9m upgrade of the QUT Mackay Renewable Biocommodities Pilot Plant into a food-grade compliant facility will enable the industry to fast-track novel food ingredient development at scale.
Yali Bio created a fat called OPO that is naturally found in high concentrations in human breast milk, which opens the potential to improve infant formula and highlights precision fermentation as a “clear technology fit” to produce an ingredient that previously was too expensive to source, Yulin Lu, CEO, Yali Bio, explained to FoodNavigator-USA.
A collaborative partnership is propelling Bond Pet Foods, which produces animal proteins through precision fermentation, onto the next stage of its growth journey.
