Biotech for Health Nutrition

UP & Zymes is a biotechnology company focused on the area of research and development of new products, processes, and problem-solving in the area of food and other bioproducts in the food sector. For this, we make use of molecular biology and synthetic biology tools for the transformation of by-products or agro-industrial waste.

Making use of a biotechnological platform, UP & Zymes values innovation and sustainability in the production chain of our bioproducts. For this, we prospect catalysts and proteins of interest and produce them in a recombinant way in a ‘Single cell protein’. In this way, our technology allows the obtaining of enzymes and other inputs from industrial waste and by the precision fermentation process. Our technology also involves the use of computational tools of biological systems that assist us in the decision-making, planning, development, and processing of our products. The mission of UP & Zymes is to offer alternatives to supply the food chain through sustainable production processes that provide products analogous to those obtained by conventional means.

This, our biotechnological platform is essential for the transition of the current production model, using our microorganism to produce a broad range of alternative proteins. The transition of the production model is necessary and Brazil is privileged by the diversity of biomass. We are enthusiastic about the transition from the current production model and we make the connection between the development of the technology and the market. Our production chain consists of transforming microorganisms to obtain the desired products.
