↓ Technology

A vertically integrated stack.

From discovery to deployment, every layer is designed in-house and tuned to your sidestream's chemistry.

T01

Product Discovery Platform

AI/ML platform for high-value ingredient discovery, strain matching and integrated technoeconomic analysis, accelerating feasibility analysis and economic evaluation.

T02

Automated Biorefineries

Turnkey biorefineries leverage computational soft-sensing and edge-AI real-time optimization to minimize labor and ensure efficient, scalable production.

T03

Precision Enzymatic Processing

Our high-performance fungal strains are optimized for sidestream-specific enzymatic secretion profiles. Both synthetically-optimized and non-GMO strains offer stable, high-titer performance in industrial applications.

↓ Where it works

One Platform, Diverse Applications

Symbio's modular bioprocess platform is deployable across industry verticals to address complex sidestream challenges.

Brewing

Yeast strain optimisation, fermentation profiling, and off-flavour elimination for craft and industrial breweries.

Dairy

Culture selection and process tuning for cheese, yogurt, and cultured dairy with consistent sensory outcomes.

Confectionery

Cocoa fermentation optimisation and valorisation of processing by-streams into high-value functional ingredients.

Coffee

Microbial-driven post-harvest processing for traceable flavour development and consistent green coffee profiles.

Produce

Biopreservation and fermentation-based shelf-life extension for fresh-cut vegetables and fruit processing.

Pet & Aquafeed

Precision fermentation of alternative proteins and feed additives for aquaculture and premium pet nutrition.
