Vivici successfully scales up its beta-lactoglobulin process, producing food grade product

DELFT, Netherlands, Oct. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Dutch company Vivici has a mission to meet the world's growing need for sustainable, nutritious and great tasting proteins.

Launching in early 2024, Vivici will bring its first product to market, a nature-equivalent whey protein beta-lactoglobulin. As a B2B company Vivici will be supplying into leading innovative food and beverage brands who are looking to bring more sustainable whey offerings and improved animal-free consumer products to market.

This not only accelerates our pace but positions us firmly on track to scale further. We are proud of the progress made by our team that has done an exceptional job in developing a robust production strain, and process from upstream fermentation through to downstream processing."
