Using precision fermentation, Australian food tech company Nourish Ingredients, a pioneer in the emerging 'animal-free' speciality fat segment has produced the world's first animal-free fat that is derived from nature. It claims this will help to accelerate the future food system by solving the biggest issues in the plant protein market around taste, nutrition, and consumer adoption. With its recent Singapore expansion, Nourish Ingredients hopes to scale up the production of its breakthrough fat.
