Palm oil is in more than half the packaged products Americans use, but it’s devastating to the environment. C16 Biosciences Palmless is an alternative.
That's because palm oil is relatively inexpensive and"so damn good at what it does," Ticku said."Palm oil is used in most candies that have a chocolate coating, and it is truly the thing that is responsible for making chocolate melt in your mouth and not in your hand, because it's got a melting profile that melts at body temp and not at room temperature.
To make its palm oil alternative, C16 Biosciences uses a wild type yeast microbe that makes a functional equivalent to palm oil with a kind of fermentation process. And fermentation — which is what has been used to make wine, beer and cheese for ages — is a"really, really robust, scalable process," Heller said."We can design an experiment and start it and get a learning about whether that helped us produce better and more oil within about seven days," Heller said.
