Ingrediome
Meat from CO2: Animal Muscle Proteins Grown in Algae
About Us
Ingrediome produces meat from nature-identical animal muscle proteins grown in algae. Using a proprietary step we recreate raw meat, that is made from genuine meat proteins and supply it as a raw ingredients B2B to deli meat manufacturers. We have already agreements with 3 corporates in the US, EU, and Israel for a value of 10M USD. Our startup received the support of accelerators (IndieBio SF, SPACE-F Bangkok), and investors (SOSV, Alumni Vent.)
Our nature-identical meat made from genuine meat proteins produced by photosynthetic precision fermentation. The main value proposition includes: 1) superior sustainability with 99% less CO2 emissions, 95% less water use, and 99% less land use than traditional meat, 2) consistent product quality, 3) predictable pricing, and 4) cleaner, healthier products without cholesterol, allergens, or animal pathogens.
Relevant Challenges
Process
Advances in cellular agriculture (tissue engineering and precision fermentation), plant and biomass based sources for production of alternative proteins and functional ingredients.
Sensory and Physical Attributes
Advances to improve taste, texture and structure of alternative proteins and functional ingredients.
Nutritional Profile
Enhancing nutritional profile of alternative proteins, also for animal and aquaculture feeds.
