UK biotech firm Sun Bear Biofuture has completed the first run of its yeast-derived cocoa butter alternative in a setup that costs less than 10% of the industry standard. British startup Sun Bear Biofuture is out to prove that precision fermentation can be scaled up cost-effectively. It has completed the first production run of its yeast-based alternative to cocoa butter, which it plans to launch next year via a cosmetics partnership. The fermentation process was carried out in a €25,000 custom-built pilot plant, representing less than 10% of the average setup costs. The automated, end-to-end facility has a production capacity of dozens of kgs per month, which the firm will use to supply food and cosmetics companies with more resilient, planet-friendly lipids. “Proving our low-capex expansion plan was a key goal for this year, and we’ve smashed it,” said Ben Wilding, co-founder and CEO of Sun Bear Biofuture. “The scope to meet customer demand for stable supply chains by producing our cocoa butter and oil range locally, whilst dramatically reducing the impact the industry has on the planet, is hugely exciting,” he added.

Consumer research suggests that most consumers find Sun Bear Biofuture’s yeast-derived cocoa butter substitute equivalent to or better than the conventional fat. In a major validation of the burgeoning microbial fat industry, a majority of consumers were found unable to tell the difference between cocoa butter and a yeast-based alternative made by UK startup Sun Bear Biofuture. The research, carried out by the Centre for Nutrition and Health at Oxford Brookes University, revealed that the sustainable cocoa butter alternative was either equal to its conventional counterpart or the preferred purchase in four out of five products tested. In fact, participants could only identify the yeast fat in one of the five cases, which comprised three food innovations and two cosmetics products. Moreover, independent testing by the University of the Arts London’s (UAL) Cosmetics Science Department, backed by a grant from Innovate UK, found no difference in performance between the two fats in a hand balm formulation from a major high-street cosmetics brand. ‘This study set out to ask whether Sun Bear Biofutures cocoa butter alternative behaves as a direct, like-for-like swap for cocoa butter in this formulation,” said Joana Maia, a research scientist at UAL. “On the evidence gathered here,...
