On July 26th, 2022, the 4th iSEE Global Food Innovation Awards (iSEE Innovation Awards) ceremony was successfully concluded in Hangzhou and Bloomage Biotech won the Innovation Technology Award for “γ-aminobutyric acid production by fermentation”.

The iSEE Innovation Awards, initiated by Foodaily, is an authoritative and influential award in the food industry, gathering global innovative ideas and practices. A total of 458 brands with 1624 cases were registered in 2022, including 5 categories (people, enterprises, technologies, brands and products). After more than half a year of review, 8 major awards have been announced. [Innovative Technology Award] aims to explore innovative solutions in the fields of raw materials and excipients, formula, processing technology, equipment, packaging materials, etc. Bloomage Biotech was awarded for its technological innovation and breakthrough in functional food ingredients Gamma-aminobutyric acid and was recognized by the industry.

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is naturally available in the human nervous system, acting as an important neurotransmitter to regulate human sleep and mood. In large-scale production, extracted GABA solely from natural substances gives a low yield, far from meeting the market demand. Compared with chemical synthesis and natural enrichment, the microbial fermentation method is an ideal way to produce GABA for it is not limited by space, environment and resources, and has significant advantages of low cost, no chemical residue, and high yield.

Therefore, Bloomage Biotech has taken the lead in the research of fermentation methods to produce GABA with high purity, focusing on screening of high-yield strains and improvement of the production process. Finally, an appropriate strain with high safety was isolated and screened from food materials and high-purity GABA was successfully produced. It has been widely used in many functional foods at home and abroad, helping sleep, reducing stress and relaxation, as well as improve skin beauty.

Bloomage Biotech is a world-renowned biotechnology and biomaterials company. Driven by synthetic biotechnology, Bloomage has been always following the development logic of “science → technology → product → brand”. Based on our in-depth accumulation in basic research and application basic research, we have successfully built six R & D platforms, including synthetic biology R & D platform, microbial fermentation platform, application mechanism R & D platform, pilot transformation platform, cross-linking technology platform and formula process R & D platform.

In the future, Bloomage Biotech will continue to focus on the development of functional foods, and is committed to developing more bioactive substances, to empower industry innovation and product upgrading.
