The company utilizes a unique, high-precision fast-track photobioreactor technology, setting a new gold standard for microalgae production.<\/p>\n<p>Yemoja cultivated microalgae can be tailored to desired nutritional compounds and functionalities. The start-up can produce algae-centered ingredients standardized to any bioactive compound or algae extract encompassing <em>fucoxanthins<\/em>, polysaccharides, <em>xanthophylls<\/em>, carotenoids, enzymes, and more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a vast ocean of microalgae species not yet discovered, and only a dozen or so are commercially available,\u201d notes Erez Ashkenazi, CEO of Yemoja. \u201cThe market is still in the early stages of tapping into the immense potential of these marine \u2018supercrops\u2019. Our mission is to boost the entire microalgae value chain with new varieties and yields, and bring them to the mainstream of high-end nutraceutical food and cosmeceutical spheres with additional formulations in the pipeline.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYemoja\u2019s patented technology evolved from a deep-rooted appreciation of biopharma and marine sciences, supported by extensive experience in algae cultivation,\u201d says Erez Ashkenazi COO and Co-Founder of Yemoja. \u201cThis unprecedented capacity was collectively harnessed to produce a variety of pure algae at any scale, and in a short time \u2014 something the microalgae market has not witnessed until now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yemoja\u2019s super-intensive cultivation methodology overcomes many of the industry\u2019s hurdles, specifically compositional homogeneity, scalability, and contamination proofing, and ensures clean, safe microalgae throughout the process.<\/p>\n<p>The start-up operates an indoor, high-precision, contaminant-free closed cultivation system that maintains absolute control of key parameters such as temperature, pH, light, and CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions, and allows for the simultaneous growth of multiple species in a very tightly controlled environment. This ensures consistent supply of highly standardized specialty ingredients and offers new capabilities to meet the specific needs of suppliers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMicroalgae are sunlight-driven, single-celled factories, and by nature highly resilient and versatile,\u201d emphasizes Amikam Bar-Gil, CTO and co-founder of Yemoja. \u201cThey also are a powerful source of natural, vegan, bioactive ingredients. Our innovative approach serves to create pure, sustainable microalgae-derived products of the highest quality, and that can be naturally adapted into any desired matrix.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yemoja is currently moving into Round B funding.
