About CarbExplore

CarbExplore develops proprietary enzymes for the manufacture of functional carbohydrates. The core technology is based on identifying novel glucansucrase, glucantransferase, inulosucrase, and beta-galactosidase enzymes. Renewable materials such as sugar, starch and lactose are converted into high-margin carbohydrates with health and physical benefits. The alpha-glucans find their use as prebiotics with texturizing properties in foods and cosmetics. Our product portfolio consists of carbohydrate-based stevia sweeteners, anti-staling agents for baking, rheology modifiers, human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) and galacto-and fructooligosaccharides (GOS-FOS).

To support carbohydrate development, an extensive package of carbohydrate analysis and structure elucidation is offered. CarbExplore is looking for contact research collaborations within the fields of food, nutrition, and nutraceuticals. Our technology contributes to a sustainable and healthy society.
