Mission
To transform waste streams into sustainable high-value nutritional resources.
Vision
To redefine the global food system by enabling manufacturers and consumers to make universally sustainable and healthy choices.
About Mycosortia
Mycosortia is a pioneering biotechnology company leveraging cutting-edge microbial co-culture technology to transform food waste into valuable nutritional resources. We specialize in upcycling agricultural byproducts like okara, spent grains, and wheat bran into high-quality, sustainable ingredients called FibProt®. Our expertise lies in developing novel microbial strains and optimizing biotransformation processes to create innovative, sustainable solutions for the food industry.
Proprietary Ingredient FibProt®
FibProt®, a versatile functional ingredient derived from okara, offers a unique solution by addressing the challenges associated with this byproduct. It boasts a high dietary fiber content, promoting digestive health while overcoming the gritty texture often encountered in raw okara. FibProt® exhibits diverse flavor profiles: FibProt®-C, with its nutty, cheesy, and umami notes, acts as a natural flavor enhancer for dairy-free cheeses, while FibProt®-K, possessing a natural cocoa-like flavor, serves as an ideal substitute for cocoa powder in various applications.
Our Service
Food waste contributes to approximately 8-10% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Addressing food loss and waste can significantly enhance the efficiency of the food system, mitigating “upstream” emissions during food production and “downstream” emissions when discarded food in municipal landfills releases methane into the atmosphere.
Mycosortia provides one-stop solution to food waste reduction. We convert food side streams into high-value functional ingredients and health-benefiting food products using our cutting-edge microbial coculture technology. We assist food manufacturers in minimizing waste production and transitioning toward a circular economy with a net-zero impact.
Furthermore, climate change has severely impacted global cocoa production, resulting in a dramatic price surge exceeding 300% in 2024. This necessitates the development of alternative solutions to ensure the sustainability of the chocolate manufacturing industry. FibProt®-K is specifically designed to mimic the flavor and texture of cocoa powder. It is poised to serve as a viable alternative in the chocolate and confectionery sectors.
We provide FibProt® as functional ingredients through B2B collaborations. Additionally, we collaborate on developing health-enhancing food products, including dairy-free cheese and cocoa-free chocolate products by incorporating FibProt®. These products are then delivered to health-conscious consumers through B2B2C partnerships.
