Biosynthetic cocoa & alt-chocolate
Biosynthetic cocoa and alt-chocolate replace cocoa beans with fermented or cell-cultured stock that reproduces the fatty-acid profile of cocoa butter and the flavour of chocolate. Two technology routes compete: precision fermentation of native cultures with engineered yeasts, and growing cocoa tissue in suspension bioreactors. The drivers are cocoa price volatility and raw-material traceability demands. Contract capacity covers fermentation, formulation and finishing of chocolate mass from alternative feedstock.
