Bioscience focuses on seaweed protein development

Bioscience
, a seaweed supplier, has long focused on obtaining unique bioactive substances from the company's proprietary strains. Recently, the company has focused on protein. Seaweed ingredient suppliers realize that the proteins in seaweed have excellent nutritional value and functional properties, and have huge reserves.Andrew Dahl,
CEO
Zivo Bioscience,
, spoke about the phenomenon in an interview. In his view, the emergence of this phenomenon, or quite a surprise. Until recently, the company was known as a "health promotion
(hepi
). For more than a decade, the company has been working to extract bioactive molecules from seaweed to help lower the body's cholesterol levels, boost the immune system and fight inflammatory responses.
Dahl
, originally a product consultant for the company, was
CEO
the company in
2012
.
Dahl
believes that bioactive molecules in seaweed remain the company's primary target, but as work progresses, the company begins to realize the value of seaweed itself.focus shifts to proteins "What we've done is split things up." We use seaweed media that focus on high-value extracts. Seaweed itself has a very high nutritional value. Protein content of
40%
, and are digestible proteins, amino acids are many kinds. "
Dahl
said.we were pleasantly surprised to see that the protein concentrations in different seaweeds were different. This is a non-GMO, non-animal source of high-quality protein. Most of the things we use now are pea protein and some other kinds of plant protein. MrDahl
the new route to the market was that the ingredients appeared in the prime time. The seaweed protein is sprayed and dried to obtain the product. In addition, the flavor of the dry seaweed protein is very soft and neutral."We have strict product specifications, so we can produce tasteless dry seaweed protein powder." I don't know how many seaweed ingredient suppliers can say that. "
Dahl
said.Dahl
the company's ingredients were tested in green superfood powder supplements.
protein powder,
produced by Zivo Bioscience, has a soft flavor and blends perfectly with a variety of food systems, and its nutritional value is not limited to protein."We thought adding
42
grams of protein to
14
ounces of vegetable drinks sounded like a perfect match." Our products are perfect compared to those ingredients that add a strong taste to the food. Mr
Dahl
said.
100
grams of spray drying powder contains
43
grams of protein,
24
grams of dietary fiber, vitamin
A
is higher than
3
ounces of beef liver, vitamin
C
content is higher than ordinary oranges.Mr
Dahl said the company's next goal is to obtain the U.S.
FDA
No Objection" certification, which is generally considered safe
GRAS
).
Zivo
has hired
Burdock Group
consultant on the regulations. Next, the company will focus on water-soluble protein extracts, although doing so will require a separate
GRAS
certification.
Dahl
hopes that the company will meet all regulatory requirements by spring

2017 and is ready for full market access.working with production partners Dahl
said the company has developed a technology licensing strategy rather than trying to grow seaweed on its own. Trying the vertical integration route was a mistake, and many seaweed producers were frustrated by it." cultivation of seaweed is just another form of agriculture. People try to integrate seaweed cultivation vertically, but I think it's like getting an entire plant to produce
12
cars. You have to cancel many production orders or sign as few contracts as possible. We work with a
in Vero Beach,
, and a plant in Southern California. Of course, we still have our own demonstration plant at
AzCATI
(Arizona Seaweed Technology Innovation Center). "
Dahl
said. the shift of work centers to protein is not the first time companies have tried ways to find new sources of profit and access to markets to promote the development of nutritious food ingredients. In
2014
, the company announced the acquisition of
Wellmetris
, a personally tailored health testing platform. In addition, the company announced plans to bring seaweed ingredients to the pet health market. source of this article is
