The Amai platform technology

We develop designer proteins for food and beverage applications. Our first products are sweet proteins designed to replace sugar and sugar alternatives in a wide variety of food & beverages including soft drinks, fruit juice, dairy products, sauces, spreads, dressings, snacks, peanut butter, and much more.

Pro-Taste

With our sweet protein, consumers can enjoy sugar-reduced products with the full sugar taste and feel. Today, most of the products we eat and drink contain added sugar. For the first time, we can provide a great sugary taste guilt-free!

icon

Pro-Planet

Our products help reduce the damage and economic cost caused by unsustainable agriculture practices related to the sugar industry that also damage the environment and natural resources, including air, land, and water.

icon

Pro-Health

Our Sweet Designer Proteins help reduce the sugar overconsumption epidemic, causing unprecedented levels of metabolic syndrome with manifestations such as diabetes and obesity. Our sweet protein is easily digested with no adverse interactions, has zero calories, and is 100% protein.

Pro-Industry

Our hyper-sweet protein that is produced by precision fermentation supports scalability and distributed production resulting in cost-effective production and decreased transportation costs.

Novel 100% Protein Products

In the depth of the jungle, there are sweet proteins that are thousands of times sweeter than sugar. Until now, we have not enjoyed them since these hypersweet proteins don’t exhibit a sugar-like sensory profile and cannot be grown and manufactured cost-effectively for food industry use.

We use our industry-leading Agile-Integrative Computational Protein Design (AI-CPD) to make novel sweet proteins that are similar to proteins that are part of life in harsh environments are are thus fit for the needs of the mass food market such as high-temperature stability, long shelf life, and above all, a great taste. We then use sustainable Precision Fermentation for industrial scale manufacturing using breweries.

The result is healthy, great-tasting, affordable, and sustainable 100% proteins with up to 80% less sugar that meet the demanding requirements of the food industry. It has the same great sensory experience as sugar, and it is low cost making it an affordable alternative for the food industry.

Our first application, the Designer Sweet Protein will be followed by meat, dairy, and plant-based proteins.

Sugar reduction

Explore our proteins

Amai’s sweet proteins enable 40-80% added sugar reduction without compromising the full-sugar taste and feel. The hypersweet protein is generally 4,000 times sweeter than sugar and offers a zero-calorie tasty, healthy, and cost-effective sugar substitute. This is especially relevant for drinks (sugar-sweetened beverages, juices, iced teas) and sauces (ketchup).

Dairy

Explore our proteins

Making dairy proteins using the same technology used for thousands of years is inefficient, not sustainable, and has many other disadvantages. Moreover, some dairy proteins can be improved to better fit consumer needs. Amai’s Pro-Protein Platform addresses these needs.

Plant-based

Explore our proteins

Plant-based proteins are an essential part of the everyday diet. However, with the increase in global population, arable land is not a sustainable resource, not to mention the short shelf life of fresh produce and numerous challenges of delivering pure plant-based proteins – from sustainability via cost to allergenicity. The Pro-Protein Platform of Amai is ideally fit to address such challenges and produce the next generation of plant-based proteins.

Supporting products

Explore our proteins

Already today, most of the arable land is used for animal feed rather than for growing food. To address this challenge, an industry of lab-grown meat and meat proteins is developing. However, challenges in the cost of proteins and their fitness to the needs of this industry are slowing down the cost-effective penetration of sustainable lab-grown meat. By applying Amai’s Pro-Protein Platform Designer Proteins, Amai can significantly reduce production costs and other challenges in this industry.

Supplying future generations with healthy, great-tasting, and sustainable products is one of the world’s major challenges. At Amai, we are dedicated to meeting this challenge with our Pro Protein Platform.
