31 Jan 2024 — US-based Superbrewed Food has obtained a US patent for its postbiotic protein ingredient as a “composition of matter” product, granting the company 18 years of market exclusivity for the production, use and commercialization of all forms of bacterial-biomass proteins. These include natural, non-GMO and GMO organisms with a protein content of at least 60%, which is the minimum amount required to make them useful as a food ingredient.
The company’s postbiotic protein is non-GMO, animal- and allergen-free and can replace or complement animal and plant proteins in existing and new food formulations.
