What if we could make better plant-based products? During her research, Nemailla identified a yeast that converts side streams into value-added ingredients rich in lipids, proteins, antioxidants, and pigments. With her co-founder, she started the company ÄIO, a biotechnology business that aims to develop sustainable alternatives to animal fats, palm, and coconut oil. We cover how the technology works in detail, how ÄIO scales its production capacities, and what stands in the way to full commercialization. Listen to this episode if you want to know more about how ÄIO supports the transition to better plant-based alternatives.
