Problem
The food, beverage, health, wellness, and personal care industries rely heavily on artificial blue dyes, which pose potential health risks and lack consumer appeal due to growing awareness of toxicity and allergenicity. Sourcing natural blue pigments is challenging, as they are rare in nature and difficult to produce sustainably.
Solution
Synergia Biotech offers a climate-friendly, natural blue pigment (phycocyanin) derived from cyanobacteria cultivated through an energy-efficient bioprocess. This phycocyanin serves as a safe and healthy alternative to artificial blue colorants, boasting antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-enhancing properties. The company's technology captures carbon dioxide during production, mitigating CO2 emissions and providing a sustainable solution for industries seeking natural and health-conscious ingredients. For every ton of phycocyanin sold, ten tons of CO2 emissions are mitigated.
Target Audience
The primary customers are in the food and beverage, health and wellness, and personal care industries seeking natural, vibrant blue pigments as a substitute for artificial dyes.
