Biotechnology company Novozymes is a world leader in precision fermentation, a technique that fine-tunes the molecular output of microorganisms, offering greater control over the fermentation process and enabling tailor-made protein compositions. Specializing in the production of enzymes through precision fermentation, it has focused on the exploration of new protein solutions for health and nutrition since 2019. In the co-funded partnership with nutrition leader Arla Foods Ingredients, it will contribute its expertise in the creation of microbial strains for the industrial-scale production of proteins by precision fermentation. This will be combined with Arla Foods Ingredients’ food technology knowhow – in particular about separation and drying processes – and its knowledge of the regulatory landscape. The initial focus of the collaboration will be a solution for disease-specific medical nutrition – a category in which protein is an essential component – with expansion into other segments anticipated in the future. Henrik Andersen, Group Vice President of Arla Foods Ingredients, said: “This partnership brings together two market leaders in our respective areas. Collaborating with Novozymes fits perfectly with our ambition to explore alternative nutrition platforms and complement our portfolio of dairy and whey solutions.” Read more>> Novozymes and Arla Foods join forces to develop protein ingredients
