Bonumose, Inc.

Bonumose, Inc. is a food ingredient and enzyme innovation company that specializes in the production of rare sugars such as tagatose and allulose. Founded in 2016 and based in Charlottesville, Virginia, the company utilizes a proprietary, patented enzymatic technology platform to convert abundant, plant-based feedstocks into high-purity, healthy ingredients. This enzymatic process is designed to be more efficient, sustainable, and scalable than traditional production methods, allowing for the commercial manufacturing of sweeteners that provide health benefits like a low glycemic index without compromising on taste or functional properties. Beyond its core work in sugar reduction, the company also develops enzyme-based solutions for applications in dietary supplements, animal nutrition, and crop protection.

The company's technology is critical for food and beverage partners seeking to meet consumer demand for better-for-you products that are both affordable and accessible. By enabling the mass-market adoption of rare sugars, Bonumose helps manufacturers reformulate products to reduce caloric content and improve nutritional profiles. The company has secured significant backing from strategic investors, including The Hershey Company and ASR Group, and operates a specialized manufacturing and R&D facility in Virginia. Recognized for its contributions to public health innovation, Bonumose maintains active collaborations with global industry leaders to scale its processes and reach diverse market segments.
