Overview
Kingdom Supercultures creates customized microbial culture blends, called Supercultures, for food and beverage products. It uses a live biobank, together with a proprietary machine learning platform and robotics, to predict how microbial communities will interact and to design blends that improve flavor, texture, and nutrition as natural alternatives to artificial additives. The company partners with CPG brands of all sizes to develop and optimize products across plant-based foods, dairy, and beverages, focusing on collaborative, custom solutions. Its aim is to help customers replace artificial ingredients with natural microbial ingredients while expanding flavor profiles and nutritional value.
