MOA Foodtech uses AI-guided fermentation to turn agricultural and food-processing byproducts into functional protein and ingredient products for food and pet-food manufacturers. Its models help select suitable microorganisms and process conditions for each feedstock; the company also offers custom development and modular systems for valorising starch-rich side streams.
Product
MOA’s AI tool identifies microorganisms suited to agricultural and food-processing byproducts and guides fermentation and downstream processing. The resulting microbial biomass is developed into functional ingredients, including MOA YEAST and MOA Q5.
Food and pet-food manufacturers can buy ingredients, co-develop products from a specific byproduct or use MOA Box, a modular system for starch-rich side streams. Applications include bakery, sauces and pet nutrition.
MOA reports industrial-scale production and completed commercial ingredient validation. It works with manufacturing partners to supply ingredients.
