ABAC R&D AG receives patent for revolutionary vegan food technology

Zurich, November 2024 - ABAC R&D AG is pleased to announce the granting of a patent for its innovative vegan food technology. This patent marks a significant milestone in the development of sustainable and nutrient-rich plant-based alternatives. The technology developed by Swiss scientists sets new standards in the production of vegan convenience products by optimizing nutritional value, preserving natural ingredients and enabling customizable solutions.

A technological breakthrough in vegan food production

The patented process is based on a unique methodology that breaks down the structure of vegan raw materials and transforms them into products that retain the full range of nutrients and bioactive compounds. Compared to conventional plant-based foods, this technology offers superior quality and enables the production of a wide variety of product shapes - from tofu-like blocks to burger patties - with minimal loss of raw materials.

With this technology, ABAC R&D AG is responding to the increasing demand for innovative, environmentally friendly and nutritionally balanced vegan foods.

WieTofu: A prime example of innovation

A flagship product of this technology is WieTofu, a tofu-like vegan product made from organic hemp seeds and water. Launched in 2022, WieTofu illustrates the advantages of the patented process. In contrast to conventional soy tofu, WieTofu is convincing:

• A mild, nutty aroma
• High levels of protein and essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6)
• Contains all secondary plant substances
• A clean list of ingredients without preservatives and artificial additives
• Minimal processing
• A sustainable, waste-free manufacturing process

The product is valued for its versatility in preparation and its appeal to health-conscious consumers looking for high-quality meat alternatives.

Sustainability meets innovation

ABAC R&D AG's patented process reflects the company's commitment to sustainability and health. The technology minimizes environmental impact by using natural raw materials such as seeds, nuts and grains in their entirety. This preserves nutrients and avoids waste.

"With this patent, we are expanding the possibilities of vegan food production by combining cutting-edge science with nature's best resources," says Othmar Käppeli, CEO of ABAC R&D AG. "Our goal is to deliver exceptional plant-based foods that benefit both human health and the environment."
