BUSINESS
Converts wood residues and forestry by-products into Torula yeast single-cell protein (SylPro) via proprietary biomass processing and continuous fermentation. Two-stage process: enzymatic/chemical breakdown of lignocellulosic biomass into fermentable sugars, then Torula yeast fermentation. Non-GMO, no chemical extraction. Approved for feed and food use in US, Canada, and EU. Demonstrated continuous fermentation at 15 m³ scale at Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant (Belgium), producing 2.5+ tonnes per run. Target markets: aquafeed, pet food, plant-based meat applications, and functional food ingredients.
