Innovation

Industry Problem

Plant-based meat and fish products often lack the colour, aroma, taste, and nutritional characteristics created by animal proteins such as myoglobin.

R&D Focus

Precision fermentation, animal-identical myoglobin, heme proteins, microbial production, purification, and food applications.

Innovative Solution

Paleo uses precision fermentation to produce animal-identical myoglobin proteins for beef, chicken, pork, lamb, tuna, and other food profiles without raising animals.
