The food industry relies on emulsifiersto create smooth, stable textures in countless products. But manysynthetic emulsifiers raise concerns about their long-term healtheffects. Fooditive offers a delicious solution: a 100% naturalemulsifier derived from upcycled potato peels.
Our innovative process harnesses the emulsifying power of patatin, a glycoprotein naturally abundant in potato peels. By extracting and purifying this valuable compound, we transform food waste into a high-performing, sustainable ingredient.
The core technology behind Fooditive's emulsifier is centered around extracting and purifying patatin, a glycoprotein naturally found in potato tubers, from potato side streams (primarily peel waste from french fry production).

Enhances mouthfeel and creates appealing textures
Optimizes product performance in various applications
The process starts with utilizing potato side streams (peels) from french fry production, aligning with the principles of a circular economy.
While the exact extraction method isn't explicitly stated, it likely involves techniques to separate and isolate the patatin glycoprotein from the potato peel matrix. This could include mechanical processes (grinding, pressing), solvent extraction, or enzymatic treatments.
The extracted patatin is further purified to remove any unwanted components and achieve the desired level of purity for food applications. This might involve filtration, chromatography, or other separation techniques.
Replace synthetic emulsifiers with a natural, plant-based alternative.
Achieve stable emulsions, improved texture, and enhanced creaminess in your products.
Reduce food waste and support a circular economy.
Ideal for a range of applications, including sauces, dairy alternatives, frozen desserts, and more.
Fooditive is proud to partner with Leprino Foods, the world's largest mozzarella cheese manufacturer, to accelerate the adoption of sustainable, animal-free casein. This landmark collaboration leverages the power of Fooditive's precision fermentation technology to create a new generation of plant-based dairy products that meet the highest standards of taste, texture, and functionality.
Exclusive Global License: Leprino Foods gains exclusive worldwide rights to produce non-animal casein using Fooditive's proprietary precision fermentation platform.
Market Leadership: Leprino Foods will lead the commercialization of Fooditive Casein in cheese applications worldwide, and in other food applications within North America.
Shared Vision: This partnership reflects a shared commitment to innovation, sustainability, and providing consumers with delicious, ethical food choices.
We're committed to making Fooditive Sweetener available to everyone, everywhere. That's why we're working diligently to secure regulatory approvals across the globe. Here's a quick snapshot of our current status:
Our novel food application with the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is currently paused due to a requirement for animal testing, a practice that Fooditive firmly stand against. We are actively exploring alternative paths to approval that align with our commitment to ethical and sustainable practices.
We're thrilled to announce that Fooditive Sweetener has been self-affirmed as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) in the US! This means we're ready to launch in the US market, bringing our delicious, low-calorie sweetener to American consumers.
Approval is pending in various regions. For detailed information on availability in your area, please contact our team to help you further.
We employ advanced techniques like High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry to verify the identity, purity, and structural integrity of our casein proteins. Our analysis confirms 100% sequence homology with native bovine casein, guaranteeing identical amino acid composition and functionality.
Stringent microbial testing and analysis for potential contaminants ensure the safety of our product.
We conduct extensive shelf-life studies under various conditions to guarantee product stability and performance throughout its lifecycle. Our studies show that Fooditive Casein maintains its functional properties even under challenging conditions.
We're committed to making Fooditive Casein available to the world. Here's an overview of our current regulatory progress:
While we haven't yet initiated the novel food application process with the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), we remain committed to navigating the regulatory landscape responsibly and transparently, prioritizing ethical and sustainable practices.
We're excited to be actively working towards securing GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status in the US market. Stay tuned for updates on our progress!
We're not yet actively pursuing regulatory approvals in other regions, but we welcome partnerships with companies interested in expanding our products to Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and Africa.
