Fooditive Group, the Dutch biotech trailblazer behind next-gen sweeteners and animal-free dairy, has unveiled its most ambitious move yet: the launch of the Fooditive Engine™, a precision fermentation and bioconversion platform now open for global licensing. This modular, science-backed system offers food manufacturers a fast track to creating high-performance, sustainable ingredients—without the heavy R&D lift.
The announcement also features the debut of FAOX-C, Fooditive’s novel Fructosyl Oxidase enzyme designed to slash sugar content while upcycling fruit by-products. Together, these developments signal a new era in clean-label, cost-efficient innovation.
“The Fooditive Engine™ brings our entire R&D journey under one roof—then opens the doors for others to walk through,” said Moayad Abushokhedim, Founder and CEO of Fooditive. “It’s not just a platform; it’s a shared toolbox for the future of food.”
What Is the Fooditive Engine™?
More than a single product, the Fooditive Engine™ is a licensable platform that gives companies access to a suite of validated technologies developed over years of industrial testing and regulatory progress. These include:
- Animal-Free Casein: A dairy-identical protein, produced without cows, now part of a long-term commercial deal with a global dairy brand.
- Fooditive Sweetener® (5-KDF): A zero-calorie, naturally derived sweetener with US FDA Self-Affirmed GRAS status and formal notification under review (GRAS ID FO19337.00001).
- New: FAOX-C Enzyme: Converts fructose into 5-KDF with efficiency, enabling sugar reduction and waste valorization in food processing.
The Engine offers a rare blend of scientific credibility, sustainability, and plug-and-play flexibility:
- Speed to Market: Skip years of R&D. Start producing with de-risked tech today.
- Eco Impact: Casein production uses up to 76x less water and 29x less CO₂ than conventional methods.
- Cost Advantage: No need for chromatography; optimized for upcycled feedstocks.
“FAOX-C is a perfect example of the Engine’s power,” adds Abushokhedim. “It’s smart science that supports healthier products—without compromising taste or efficiency.”
A New Chapter for Fooditive—and an Open Invitation

“Innovation thrives when it’s shared,” said Abushokhedim. “The Fooditive Engine™ is our open call to the industry: let’s build smarter, cleaner, tastier food—together.”
