PoLoPo is an Israeli B2B ingredient company that pioneered molecular farming techniques to manufacture animal-based proteins from potatoes. Their patented SuperAA platform converts potatoes into biofactories capable of producing proteins like ovalbumin, the main protein found in egg whites.
This novel strategy seeks to provide a sustainable and efficient alternative to traditional animal farming, thereby meeting the growing demand for non-animal-derived proteins in the food business. PoLoPo genetically modifies potato plants to boost their protein content, providing a climate-friendly approach to protein production.
SuperAA: PoLoPo’s Molecular Farming Platform Turns Potatoes Into Egg Protein Factories
PoLoPo’s Super AA platform grows target amino acids within a potato’s tuber, which are harvested when they reach sufficient size. The protein is then extracted and dried into a powder that can be integrated into existing food processing lines and formulations.
