Problem
The plant-based meat industry struggles to replicate the rich, fatty mouthfeel and flavor of traditional meat products, often resulting in less satisfying culinary experiences for consumers. Many existing plant-based fats rely on hydrogenation, leading to unhealthy trans fats, or fail to deliver the desired taste and texture.

PhytoFat™ is produced without hydrogenation, ensuring zero trans fats while delivering a crave-worthy, fatty mouthfeel. This technology enables the creation of plant-based products, such as pork belly and dim sum, that closely mimic the taste and texture of their conventional counterparts, offering a healthier and more sustainable alternative without compromising flavor. Lypid's products are available in both foodservice and retail channels.
