TASTE & FLAVOR

For an ingredient to last, it must ultimately taste good. Natural taste and flavor turn function into a real experience.

A

ADAPTABILITY

Highly adaptable across foods and formulas, with room to expand into beverages, nutrition, and beauty applications.

K

KEY FUNCTIONALITY

Distinctive ingredient properties and a focused composition create meaningful functional differentiation.

E

EFFICIENCY

Efficiency across both production and nutrition, delivering higher nutrient density with fewer resources.

I

IMPACT

Ingredients should be responsible for the process as well as the outcome, reducing environmental impact and improving sustainability.

N

NUTRITIONAL BALANCE

A balanced ingredient system built around a nutritional profile that meets essential requirements.

LOGO TYPE

A secondary logo set used when communication calls for the logotype and symbol to appear together. Three arrangements are defined: diagonal, horizontal, and vertical. Each lockup is designed for visual stability and balance.

3rd Gen Protein & Fiber Platform

Bridging Precision Fermentation to Market

INTAKE has built an integrated technology system spanning strain screening, precision fermentation, cell-wall disruption, separation and purification, ingredient design, and product application. Through this system, we commercialize high-value yeast-based protein and dietary-fiber complexes.

18 National R&D projects secured
26B+ KRW Alternative food-ingredient R&D scale
110+ Participating researchers
20 Patents held and filed

Core Capability

We develop ingredients and validate the market in parallel.

The potential of a food ingredient cannot be proven in the lab alone. INTAKE uses its owned brands and B2B supply channels to rapidly validate function, sensory quality, cost, and production feasibility.

01

Yeast-based ingredient foundation

Using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a base, we fractionate and extract protein ingredients and dietary-fiber complexes while designing applications for high-value components such as protein, beta-glucan, mannose, and ceramide.

02

Precision fermentation and scale-up

We connect strain selection, culture optimization, cell-wall disruption, centrifugation, concentration, and purification to build processes that can scale from lab to pilot and commercial production.

03

Functionality and processability improvement

We improve amino-acid score, digestibility, off-notes, texture, and sensory quality to address the limits of existing animal- and plant-based proteins and improve food applicability.

04

Validation through owned brands

We apply new ingredients step by step across owned brands such as PROTEEONE and SUGARLOLO, validating functionality, taste, and repeat-purchase potential with real consumers.

Technology Pipeline

A technology pipeline
from strain to product

1

High-performance production strain development

We secure GRAS-based yeast strains and identify high-protein, high-yield production candidates through non-GM variants and high-throughput screening.

2

Precision fermentation optimization

Using AI and biofoundry-based analysis, we optimize media composition, culture time, and yield while validating each stage of scale-up.

3

Cell-wall disruption and purification

We refine yeast cell-wall disruption, centrifugation, concentration, and physical and chemical purification to fractionate protein and dietary-fiber complexes for their intended applications.

4

Ingredient design and product application

Through functionality evaluation, processability improvement, off-note reduction, and sensory testing, we turn ingredients into formats suitable for both B2C finished products and B2B supply.

Core Ingredients

Core Ingredient Technologies

Yeast-cultured protein ingredient

Yeast Protein Isolate

A high-protein powder ingredient designed as an alternative to whey. It aims for a complete-protein profile based on biological value and amino-acid score while addressing lactose, allergy, and digestibility concerns.

  • Targets a cost advantage of more than 50% versus whey protein
  • Validated through phased application across the PROTEEONE lineup
  • Designed for the global B2B protein ingredients market
Yeast-cultured dietary-fiber complex

Yeast Fiber Complex

A high-functionality biomass-derived ingredient obtained through cell-wall disruption and extraction after yeast protein fractionation. We explore its potential for gut health and immune function through useful components such as beta-glucan and mannose.

  • Uses the beta-1,3/1,6 structure of yeast-derived beta-glucan
  • Strengthens functional value across the SUGARLOLO zero-sugar lineup
  • Builds a foundation for entering the global B2B fiber ingredients market
Seaweed oligosaccharide ingredient

Seaweed Oligosaccharide Ingredients

An ingredient technology that designs both functionality and sensory quality using seaweed-derived carbohydrates. We explore seaweed biomass for applications in dietary fiber, oligosaccharides, seasoning, and functional ingredients.

  • Pipeline for seaweed-based functional carbohydrate ingredients
  • Improves sensory quality, texture, and processability for food applications
  • Builds a foundation for expanding B2B ingredient demand in Korea and overseas

Tech to Market Platform

Rapid market validation through distinctive R&D scale and proven B2C brands

A rare commercialized platform in Korea

INTAKE has commercialized precision-fermentation-based yeast-cultured protein and dietary-fiber complexes, advancing ingredient development and product application in parallel.

Production capacity expansion

Starting from lab-scale equipment capable of five tons per year, we are expanding step by step through a second commercialization center, CDMO collaboration, and a system designed for more than 200 tons annually.

Intellectual property and research network

We hold or have filed 20 patents related to alternative foods and ingredients, while advancing research and commercialization through one of Korea's largest alternative food-ingredient R&D consortia.

Market validation structure

We validate consumer response quickly through owned B2C brands and expand demand in Korea and overseas through our B2B ingredient network.
