Our technology

The combination of fermentation and koji is the base of our proprietary W2T (Waste-2-Taste) technology.

Umami, kokumi & maillard reaction notes are  extracted via our

‎W2T

These function as clean-label alternatives to MSG, yeast extracts, or hydrolyzed vegetable proteins. 

Reduces C02e by up to

83% 

compared to traditional  ingredient production.

Energy usage reduced by

90%

compared to traditional  ingredient production.

REDUCED

Fermentation has been doing this for ages. We just learned to bottle it
