Technical approach
Genetically programmed microbes
The company uses engineered microorganisms that produce ovalbumin protein, the functional ingredient in egg white, through fermentation rather than chickens.
Functional match to conventional eggs
OvoPro replicates the binding, foaming, gelling and whipping properties of conventional eggs, allowing food makers to use it without reformulation.
Decoupled from animal agriculture
Fermentation-based production is independent of weather, disease and animal cycles, offering consistent supply and pricing.
