It was a pleasure to host the SupplySide Network Content Team at the MycoTechnology headquarters last week to tour our facility and learn about honey truffle sweeter, our newly developed sweet protein from honey truffles. Thank you all for coming!
Content VP responsible for development and implementation of strategic content planning in the B2B health & nutrition market
This week, the SupplySide Network Content Team members toured MycoTechnology, Inc.'s facility in Aurora, CO, where they make health-promoting mushroom ingredients #trendingingredient. Our visit was perfect timing to learn about MycoTechnology's new high-intensity sweetener made from mycelial protein. Yes, that's right! Sweetness from protein! Made with precision fermentation, the honey truffle sweetener is ready to find its home in finished products. (Learn more about that here: https://lnkd.in/gBYiVS-g) It's always interesting to see under the hood of product development. And Mycotechnology names all its meeting spaces after mushrooms -- we had a Q&A in the Shiitake Boardroom! Great fun! Thanks to our tour guides Rick Becker, Matthew Malone and Lisa Wetstone.

Huge congratulations to the team at KEY! Thrilled to see our ClearIQ natural flavor out in the wild helping brands produce great-tasting functional products. #ForagingForTheFuture #FlavorHarmonization #MycoClearIQ
KEY Energy Drink From Ketones—a startup led by former PepsiCo and Coca-Cola execs on a mission to disrupt the US functional beverage segment with a zero-sugar ketone-fueled energy drink—has emerged from stealth armed with $4m in seed funding. The round, led by AgFunder and backed by Alethia Venture Partners and AgFunder SIJ Impact Fund, will support retail distribution, inventory and marketing efforts at the firm, which is launching direct-to-consumer and on Amazon, and making its retail debut at Erewhon in southern California and select retailers in New York. Developed by Karishma Thawani (who worked in procurement at Coca-Cola) and Tekla Back (who spent seven years at PepsiCo in corporate strategy), KEY is a zero-sugar energy drink sweetened with stevia, featuring 80mg caffeine from green tea, coupled with l-theanine, an amino acid also found in green tea that is often paired with caffeine for improved focus. However, the star ingredient is Avela™ (R)-1,3-Butanediol (listed as ‘pre-ketones’ on pack), an organic compound that can be converted to D-BHB, one of three ketones produced by the liver to provide energy when the body is fasting or in ketosis (burning fat for energy rather than glucose). KEY sources this branded ingredient from bioengineering firm Genomatica, which says the ‘R’ form of 1,3-butanediol—which it produces via microbial fermentation—is effective at raising BHB levels and generating ‘on-demand ketosis’ within 30 minutes of ingestion. #foodtech #ketones #functionalbeverages #energydrinks
