• Cultivated Biosciences is now Cosaic. 
• Same team. Same technology. Same purpose. 
• Enhanced product. Enhanced identity.

Over the past three years, the team at Cultivated Biosciences has worked relentlessly to use state-of-the-art biotechnology to solve the food industry’s pressing challenges. They’ve cultivated yeast, and grown as a company. 

Having re-branded to Cosaic the team are delighted to introduce Cosaic Neo.
This unique ingredient contains fats, but also proteins and fibers. It is the combination of those components that allows to naturally combine 8 key functionalities in 1 animal-free ingredient. It reconciles the industry's need for more resilience and performance with consumer needs for better and tastier products. Cosaic Neo cleans labels by replacing unwanted additives, improves mouthfeel and taste, improves physical stability and much more. 

Now, product developers of the industry can create both dairy and dairy-free products that were unseen before, tackling new consumer trends and wants and unlocking new business opportunities.

The ingredient Cosaic Neo delivers on functionality and sensory to create never-before-seen products in those categories:

• Ready-to-drink protein and nutrition shakes
• dairy-free milks, barista and coffee creamers
• mayo & sauces
• creamy liqueurs 

Particularly striking is the impact that Cosaic Neo can have on protein shakes. The category "Protein Shakes" is the fastest growing beverage segment in the US, reflecting the consumers’ interest for on-the-go, healthy proteins. But most commercial plant-based protein shakes contain not more than 8% proteins (around 25g for a 330ml/12 oz bottle), and contain lots of additives like gums. This limitation comes from the fact that further increasing protein contents can lead to gelling of the proteins and to strong off-taste. 

Where Cosaic comes into play: replacing all additives, masking plant-based off-notes and most importantly, improving protein solubilisation to enable loading more proteins, up to 13%, so 43g per serving! 

Cosaic is working closely with industry giants on trials to bring this concept to market in the US in 2026.

Cosaic Neo visually resembles dairy cream. It is a naturally stable emulsion as it grows as such within the yeast cell, and thus brings stability to the product it’s incorporated into. It is creamy because the fat is in the form of tiny droplets that have lubrication properties. It is not simply a fat alternative, it is not only a texturiser or emulsifier, it is not really a cream alternative. It is a new kind of multifunctional ingredient that sets new rules for food ingredients.
