🔬 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 101 🔬 Ever wondered how we create our high-quality #specialtyfats at Melt&Marble? The answer lies in the power of #precisionfermentation. What is precision fermentation? According to the Precision Fermentation Alliance (PFA) and Food Fermentation Europe (FFE), precision fermentation combines traditional fermentation with advanced biotechnology to produce specific compounds, such as proteins, vitamins, or in our case, specialty fats. Here’s how it works: 🧪 We engineer yeast cells using synthetic biology and metabolic engineering to build proprietary yeast strains.  🧬 Through a meticulously controlled fermentation process, the engineered yeast cells produce fats with tailored properties. 🧈 Our yeast cells are continually refined to enhance their efficiency and the quality of fats they produce. What does this mean for Melt&Marble? By leveraging precision fermentation, we can: - 𝐂𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐬 - 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 - 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 Stay tuned for more insights into our cutting-edge technology and its impact on the future of food! 🌍✨ #precisionfermentation #foodtech #foodinnovation

Bold actions are needed at regulatory level to drive change and correct subsidies that fuel a trend of production that we cannot sustain.
