Collaboration centres on patented non-GMO, allergen-free bacteria biomass protein.
Fonterra has signed a deal with natural ingredient manufacturer Superbrewed Food to develop additional nutrient-rich, functional biomass protein.
The collaboration addresses the rising global demand for protein, reflecting both companies’ commitment to delivering sustainably sourced, functional proteins that meet customer and consumer needs worldwide.
The collaboration uses Superbrewed’s patented biomass protein, called postbiotic cultured protein, a non-GMO, allergen-free, nutrient-dense bacteria biomass protein that recently received a United States market green light from the Food and Drug Administration.
In ingredient evaluations, Fonterra determined that the excellent function and nutrition of postbiotic cultured protein complement dairy ingredients in food applications with growing consumer demand.
Superbrewed has demonstrated its non-GMO, fermentation platform can be adapted to ferment other inputs and the multi-year joint effort seeks to develop new biomass protein solutions based on the fermentation of multi-feedstocks, including Fonterra’s lactose permeate, which is produced during dairy processing.
The objective is to add value to Fonterra’s lactose by converting it into high-quality, sustainable protein with Superbrewed’s technology.
Bryan Tracy, CEO of Superbrewed Food, said he is excited to be partnering with a company of Fonterra’s stature, “as it recognises the value in bringing postbiotic cultured protein to market, and is a pivotal step towards expanding our offerings of biomass ingredients that further contribute to sustainable food production”.
Fonterra’s GM for innovation partnerships, Chris Ireland, said partnering with Superbrewed Foods is a fantastic opportunity.
“Their cutting-edge technology aligns with our mission to provide sustainable nutritional solutions to the world and respond to the global demand for protein solutions, thereby creating more value from milk for our farmers.”
