Mori’s (previously known as Cambridge Crops) technology allows food to stay fresher longer by preventing oxidation and slowing microbial growth. The technology involves extracting protein from silk through a water-based process to form a natural, protective, edible, and tasteless coating for a wide range of food items such as produce, meat, fish, and processed goods. The company rebranded in 2020, to highlight its core Bombyx mori technology which is currently protected by 20 patents, and has obtained self-designated GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Further certifications from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) are still pending.
Following a rebranding in July 2020, Mori raised USD 12 million in a Series A funding round led by Acre Venture Partners. The round also attracted new investors Prelude Ventures. Mori intends on using the funding to build out its manufacturing capabilities and continue to develop commercial partnerships in multiple food categories.
