MOA Foodtech raises €3.3 million for ingredient expansion
The Spanish company uses AI-guided fermentation to turn agricultural byproducts into functional ingredients for food and pet nutrition.
Fermentation matched to each byproduct
MOA's AI system helps select microorganisms and fermentation conditions suited to a feedstock, producing microbial ingredients such as its MOA YEAST and MOA Q5 lines. The company works with food manufacturers on bakery, sauce and pet-food applications, and says commercial ingredient validation is complete. Partner bioreactor capacity is set to grow from 120,000 to 225,000 litres as products move toward broader launches.
