Pureture, founded in 2022 as Armored Fresh Technologies, is a biotech company developing alternative dairy ingredients.
The company aims to future-proof dairy production by providing 100% plant-based solutions to replace cows. According to the company, its technology can produce plant-based casein that mimics dairy casein without starches, gums, and emulsifiers. The formulations for the plant-based casein are claimed to deliver stable emulsions, which is vital for developing alternative dairy products that offer characteristics of animal dairy.
In August 2023, Pureture launched its non-GMO plant-based casein crafted from yeast and plant-based materials and claimed to provide enhanced taste, texture, and nutrition. In June 2024, the company announced it had improved its yeast protein cultivation process. This patent-pending technology claims to shorten the cultivation time by nearly 30% while maintaining essential functional features like thickening and emulsification without using anti-foaming agents.
Key customers and partnerships
In January 2024, the company partnered with South Korean dairy manufacturer Namyang Dairy Products to develop plant-based dairy alternatives. Namyang planned to leverage Pureture’s plant-based casein for its sustainable dairy-free product range. In November 2024, Pureture and Kangwon National University established the Alternative Protein Research Center to develop innovative protein solutions.
