Microterra
MexicoFoodtech
Microterra develops functional ingredients from lemna (duckweed) to enhance the flavor, texture, and nutritional profile of food products, addressing the need for clean-label, sustainable alternatives to additives like monosodium glutamate, salt, and sugar. Its flagship ingredient, MAS, is a natural extract that intensifies umami notes and allows reformulation of industrial foods with reduced salt and sugar while maintaining taste. The company serves food and beverage manufacturers seeking to improve sensory experiences and meet consumer demand for transparency. Microterra has been accelerated by IndieBio and CATAL1.5°T, recognized as a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer in 2022, and backed by SOSV.
