Application

  • Production of yeast-fermented lipids for food and cosmetics

Description

German biotechnology company Insempra has secured $20M in funding to expand its production of yeast-fermented lipids for food and cosmetics applications. The company utilizes a patented technology to process forestry and agricultural side streams, mimicking existing fatty acid profiles and properties to create sustainable ingredients. Insempra's production process involves fermentation using micro-organisms and natural ingredients, and the company employs second-generation feedstocks such as lignocellulosic biomass and non-food oil-rich plants

Pathway Description:

Insempra uses a fermentation process involving micro-organisms and natural ingredients to produce yeast-fermented lipids for food and cosmetics applications.
