ICL announced that its AgriFood innovation and investment platform, ICL Planet Startup Hub, has invested €2.75 million in Arkeon GmbH, Vienna.
The investment will support Arkeon’s sustainable one-step fermentation bioprocess, which creates customizable protein ingredients by capturing the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide and converting it into the 20 proteinogenic amino acids necessary for human nutrition. The resulting alternative proteins are carbon negative and clean-label functional ingredients.
