Foraging for the Future

 

We believe the future of sweetness will come from somewhere unexpected. At MycoTechnology, we’re constantly searching for new possibilities from the fungi kingdom. Our latest discovery uncovered a truffle with a surprisingly sweet taste. We studied the truffle to find the source of its sweetness, isolating the honey truffle sweetener – a sweet protein– for the first time in history.

Hitting the Sweet Spot

 

Honey truffle sweetener brings a clean, potent, natural sweetness to food and beverage formulations. At nearly two thousand times sweeter than sugar, it can be incorporated into sweetness solutions at a cost-in-use competitive with other sweetening ingredients. And since it is a protein, we are confident it can be easily digested by the body.

From Discovery to Reality

 

From regulatory affairs and operations, to food science and commercialization, MycoTechnology's team of experts is working tirelessly to deliver honey truffle sweetener to consumers. As we scale up our proprietary production platform and prepare for global regulatory submissions, we expect it to be available to partners for testing and development as early as 2024.
