21st.BIO has earned a self-affirmed GRAS status for its animal-free beta-lactoglobulin ingredient, which customers can now launch in the United States market.21st.BIO is helping customers bring products to market at an unprecedented pace, from initiation of development to market approval in under two years.21st.BIO offers the leading production technology for BLG, based on precision fermentation technology that has been perfected over decades and partly licensed from Novonesis (formerly Novozymes).By studying the variation in cows’ milk protein, 21st.BIO’s world class scientists have been able to reproduce a highly nutritious recombinant BLG, which is the most potent bovine whey protein and has superior nutrition and functionalities. This is why 21st.BIO has named its protein BLG Essential+™.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark and DAVIS, Calif., Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Precision fermentation platform provider 21st.BIO has earned a self-affirmed GRAS status for its animal-free beta-lactoglobulin ingredient, BLG Essential+™, which means customers can now launch in the United States market.

This breakthrough comes less than two years after 21st.BIO initiated its development of a strain and production process for its beta-lactoglobulin protein, BLG Essential+™, demonstrating the power of the Company’s approach, unique expertise and differentiated precision fermentation platform.

Beta-lactoglobulin is a potent and highly nutritious dairy protein  

The predominant protein in bovine whey, beta-lactoglobulin (BLG) has attracted considerable food-producer interest for its high-quality nutrition and advantageous properties in food product formulation.

Its nutritional profile is impressive, boasting a larger amount of essential and branched-chain amino acids than whey. For example:

BLG contains 45% more leucine than commercially available whey protein isolates, which is particularly important for muscle synthesis.BLG is tasteless, stable across a wide pH range and can tolerate heat, making it the ideal ingredient for versatile product formulations, from clear protein drinks to alternative dairy or bakery products.

21st.BIO expects its customers’ own production of beta-lactoglobulin to be incorporated into the formulation of foods such as baked goods and alternative dairy products, as well as nutritional products for active or sports nutrition, weight management, and clinical and elderly nutrition.

Unique business model: One market approval for several dairy protein suppliers 

Companies engaged in 21st.BIO’s unique development program can now commercialize their own production of BLG Essential+™ in the U.S. market. Through 21st.BIO’s BLG program, customers gain access to the world’s most advanced production strains and precision fermentation processes – and optimizations over time. Furthermore, 21st.BIO is supporting customers in upscaling their production all the way to full-scale ingredient production. The Company’s diverse global customer base spans food-tech start-ups to large food ingredients manufacturers. BLG Essential+™ is the first food protein out of a portfolio of protein ingredients that 21st.BIO will take to the market via this model. 

21st.BIO gets solutions to market at an unprecedented pace 

With a strong track record and productive microorganisms licensed from Novonesis (formerly Novozymes), 21st.BIO is bringing solutions to market at an unprecedented pace, enabling customers to bypass years of development and market approval for direct entry into the U.S. market and empowering customers to produce any food, materials, agriculture, or biopharma-related protein or peptide of interest, and scale production to industrial levels to ensure large-scale availability and cost-effectiveness. Customers in 21st.BIO’s development programs benefit from continuous optimizations of strain and process for improved commercial attractiveness.

Comprehensive support every step of the way to get products to market 

“We bring our customers access to technology and skills they could not get anywhere else,” said 21st.BIO co-founder and CSO Per Falholt. 

And 21st.BIO co-founder and CEO Thomas G. Schmidt continues: “We’re not just a technology provider – we’re a partner to our customers’ on their product journey, ensuring their success from development to full-scale manufacturing. We make products, not projects. Our ambition is to empower our customers to focus more on application, business development, low-cost production and innovation. And this shows all the way through our business model, which is designed such that our success at 21st.BIO depends on our customers’ success in the market with a product; not just on project completion.” 

21st.BIO derisks product development and supports customers from strain development, fermentation processes, purification protocols, pilot production and upscaling guidance, to the regulatory approvals for market entry. 21st.BIO is working on additional proteins, including proteins for both foods, materials, agriculture and beyond.

By

Leveraging AI technology and a supplier-centric philosophy, the solution simplifies the data collection process, helping to promote accuracy and compliance

NEW YORK, Jan. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Infor Nexus™ , the single-instance supply chain network platform providing unparalleled visibility and collaboration, today announced NexTrace. This innovative solution is designed to improve customer transparency and provide a competitive advantage. With the EU Digital Product Passport (DPP) set to take effect in 2027, companies need to start preparing now by implementing traceability solutions. NexTrace can give customers a head start to meet regulatory requirements like the EU DPP and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). 

NexTrace provides end-to-end transparency by seamlessly tracking raw material through to finished products and beyond, ensuring full traceability throughout the entire supply chain journey. It integrates supplier ESG data and certificates for a holistic view of sustainability and compliance information. Leveraging AI technology and a supplier-centric philosophy, NexTrace simplifies the data collection process, ensuring accuracy and compliance.

“Last June, we launched Map and Trace, which empowers our customers to map their supply chains and collect documentation from multiple supplier tiers. Map and Trace provides evidence of chain of custody compliance with regulations such as the US UFLPA and the French AGEC law. With NexTrace, we’re taking this to the next level by proactively gathering full-scale item-level traceability from each tier of the supply chain. This will help our customers to not only meet upcoming regulations like the EU Digital Product Passport but also gain a competitive edge by providing comprehensive data on their products’ journey, composition, and sustainability,” said Brian Carelli, Infor VP, Sustainability and Partnerships. 

Meeting regulatory and consumer demands for product traceability requires collaboration across supply chain tiers. By connecting to Infor Nexus, companies gain a head start, leveraging an established ecosystem of over 94,000 brands, retailers, and suppliers already on the platform. Managing traceability and chain-of-custody data alongside existing supply chain processes on a unified platform accelerates progress, boosts efficiency, and reduces reliance on multiple systems. 

NexTrace Capability Highlights: 

Enables seamless lot and item-level tracing by tracking the movement of raw material lots and batches through their conversion into finished products Leverages AI to collect data from the multiple tiers of suppliers, while automatically associating transactions from one tier to the next, helping to reduce the burden on suppliers and increase data accuracy and tracing efficiency Allows suppliers to upload data from existing reports in one easy step, rather than necessitating manual data entry RFID scanning of serialized barcodes at source automatically links the multi-tier chain of custody data Integrates supplier ESG data and certificates with traceability information, providing a comprehensive view of sustainability and compliance throughout the supply chain Creates a digital link and visualization to share traceability and product information with consumers, enhancing transparency and trust throughout the supply chain Tracing data automatically updates the network graph creating linkages between products and materials providing a higher fidelity map of your supply chain network 

“Vendors will be eager to tout their Digital Product Passport solutions at NRF, but their focus is often on flashy features, rather than the minutiae of how to feed such data-hungry systems. At NRF, we look forward to demonstrating how trace data is built and how to scale a system of this magnitude,” said Carelli.
