Our Technlogy
At Biteback, we are optimizing processes by improving yeast strains, enhancing fermentation efficiencies, identifying the best, most cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable feedstocks
Low-cost feedstock
Utilizing feedstock from agriculture waste stream for sugar/carbon source by using inexpensive enzymatic hydrolysis.
Oil-producing yeast strain
Using adaptive laboratory evolution, we selected a yeast strain capable of producing lipids/oils under environmental stressors and nutrient restriction. This platform allows us to continue to screen and develop more strain for more optimized yield and different fatty acid profiles.
Open-air fermentation
We have developed an optimized medium for non-sterile fermentation to maintain axenic culture. This technique is much less expensive compared to using a bioreactor.
Oil refine technique
We have developed an efficient lipid extraction process, downstream refining, and dry fractionation to get desirable end-product characteristics (e.g. solid at room temperature).
The Results
“We have developed a low-cost, precision fermentation technique that allows us to offer competitively-priced functional fats and oils solutions.”
