Sweet Designer Proteins as a Sugar Substitute

Amai Proteins develops and produces protein-based ingredients for everyday applications.

Its first innovation uses sweet designer proteins as a substitute for sugar.

Combining agile integrative computational protein design (AI-CPD) with biotechnology-based production, Amai creates novel proteins that are healthy, tasty, food-compatible, and cost-effective.The company's hypersweet proteins were evaluated in a variety of beverage and dairy applications by top-ten food and beverage multinationals.

Its sweeteners were found to have an excellent sensory profile, thermostabliity (for pasteurization), and synergy with other sweeteners.Amai Proteins began as a portfolio company of The Kitchen FoodTech Hub incubator and currently partners with Danone, Strauss, SodaStream, PepsiCo, and others.
