UNIQUE PROPERTIES
HELLO
This mycelium-based fat ingredient reflects the sensory experience and visual likeness of animal fat. When cooked, HYphat slowly melts, mirroring the melt-in-your-mouth experience and texture associated with traditional fats.
Our novel mycelium and fat encapsulation technology allows us to tune the visual and sensory properties of HYphat, enabling us to adjust size, color, and texture for specific end uses and desired attributes.
It also adds to the sensory advantages as it allows for the slow release of fat during cooking, contributing to the juiciness and palatability of the final product.
