Sustainable production of natural sweetener using precision fermentation

Overview

StrainX Biotech introduces a novel method for producing brazzein, a naturally occurring sweet protein, using precision fermentation. Brazzein provides a clean sweetness with zero glycemic impact, addressing health concerns related to excessive sugar consumption. By utilizing engineered yeast, our solution ensures consistent and scalable production, reducing the environmental footprint associated with traditional sugar production and alternative sweeteners.

Technical specifications

Key features:

• Utilizes precision fermentation with engineered yeast strains to produce brazzein.
• Achieves high brazzein purity (>95%) with minimal product loss.
• Employs a repeated fed-batch approach to maximize fermentation yields and efficiency.
• Scalable from lab-scale to pilot and full manufacturing phases, ensuring a reliable B2B supply.

Technology readiness level

Currently at Technology Readiness Level 6, StrainX Biotech's process has been optimized in lab-scale bioreactors and is ready to move to pilot-scale production. This phased approach includes regulatory submissions and customer validations, paving the way for commercialization and market entry.
