Kingdom designs and supplies natural Superculture™ ingredients

Superculture™ ingredients make it easy for food and beverage manufacturers to create products that are better tasting, healthier, and more sustainable.

How it works

Step 1: Isolate natural strains

We’ve isolated tens of thousands of novel, natural microbial strains already found in food, which we’ve extensively characterized with modern methods. This constitutes one of the largest and most comprehensive biobanks of food-borne microbial diversity in the world.

How it works

STEP 2: Assemble new cultures

We combine cutting-edge automation and computation with groundbreaking analytical capacities to solve the “needle in a haystack” problem, and assemble our strains into Superculture™ ingredients with unprecedented emergent functionalities.

How it works

STEP 3: Enable innovative products

We sell Superculture™ ingredients to leading manufacturers, allowing them to craft exciting new products - naturally-preserved products with minimal food waste and no artificial chemicals, and with new functional benefits

How it works

STEP 1: ISOLATION AND ANALYSIS
We isolate individual, natural microbial, strains from everyday products and use cutting-edge machine learning to run them through extensive analytics and processing. This allows us to gather rich, in-depth insights into how and why various products are successful (or not).

How it works

STEP 2: RE-ASSEMBLY & ITERATIONAfter our extensive analysis, we take these isolated strains and re-assemble them together into novel, never-before-seen combinations, or “Supercultures”.

How it works

STEP 3: innovatIONThese novel Supercultures allow Manufacturers to create advanced, next-gen products with exciting functionalities that individual strains could never achieve alone. For instance: full-flavor wines & beers that are low alcohol. Rich & creamy yogurts and cheeses that are plant-based & dairy free. Effective personal care products that are free of artificial chemicals.
