LEVPROT BIOSCIENCE

Levprot Bioscience is a company specialized in the development and optimization of protein expression processes using different yeast strains via precision fermentation. Pioneers in Spain in the biotechnological production of recombinant proteins, Levprot is focused on the obtention of proteins highly linked to food.

We offer services that include custom-made design and development of all the steps involved in the production of enzymes and recombinant proteins in yeast cells:  strain engineering, genetic design, bioprocess development at lab and pilot scale and downstream optimization.

Our proteins cover a wide range of possibilities within the food industry: we develop specific enzymes able to optimize production yields and enhance organoleptic properties of different food products; as well as create high-value ingredients that improve the functional characteristics and sensory attributes of alternative meat and other animal-free products: cheese and other dairy alternatives, bakery products. We are also progressing on the production of animal-free growth factors needed for muscle and fat cells to grow cultivated meat. These proteins allow a better cell proliferation leading to a higher production yield.
