Leading Companies Influencing the Fermented Fat Ingredient Market
The fermented fat ingredient market features several prominent players shaping its landscape. Among these are Cargill Incorporated, BASF SE, Evonik Industries AG, Xylome, DIC Corporation, Alltech Inc., Corbion N.V., Ginkgo Bioworks Holdings Inc., Guangdong Runke Bioengineering Co. Ltd., ÄIO, Melt&Marble AB, NoPalm Ingredients, Nourish Ingredients, Veramaris, Cubiq Foods S.L., Yihai Kerry Biotechnology, C16 Biosciences Inc., Colipi, Zero Acre Farms, and Kiverdi Inc.
In a notable collaboration in January 2025, Finland's Valio Ltd., a leading dairy and food company, partnered with Sweden-based Melt&Marble AB to develop next-generation food products. This partnership focuses on utilizing Melt&Marble's precision-fermented fat ingredients to create innovative, sustainable, and plant-based food solutions that improve taste, texture, and functionality, while reducing dependence on traditional animal fats. Melt&Marble AB specializes in biotechnology that engineers designer fats and specialty fat ingredients through precision fermentation.

Key Factors Fueling Growth in the Fermented Fat Ingredient Market
Companies in this space are increasingly focusing on developing fungi-based fat solutions that provide sustainable, clean-label alternatives to animal fats. These fungi-derived fat ingredients are produced through microbial fermentation and aim to replicate the sensory and functional qualities of traditional animal fats while offering environmental benefits.
An example of such innovation occurred in April 2023, when Swedish food technology company Mycorena AB introduced Mycolein, a clean-label fungi-based fat ingredient. Created through collaboration with plant-based food producers like Juicy Marbles, Mycolein utilizes patented emulsifying technology that traps fat within food and releases it during cooking. This enhances juiciness and flavor, improves nutritional value by providing fiber, and reduces saturated fat content by 85% compared to coconut oil. Additionally, it enables up to 40% fat reduction in final products relative to other fats.
