22 Apr 2024 --- MycoTechnology has scaled production of its sweet protein from honey truffles — from a lab benchmark to 3,000-liter tanks — improving production process efficiency, optimizing costs and validating safety and digestibility. Meanwhile, safety evaluations indicate that the protein is not considered allergenic or toxic and can be fully digested in human digestive systems. The company surpassed its initial timeline expectations after announcing the sweetener’s discovery less than a year ago. MycoTechnology notes that sweet proteins offer appealing, non-nutritive alternatives to sugar and artificial sweeteners.
