Brevel Ltd., enters fully into the plant cell-culture market to help companies scale-up production and enhance nutrients yield, utilising its proprietary illuminated fermentation platform. It is partnering with Coffeesai, a coffee cell-culture company to use light as a key factor in promoting the growth of coffee cells, and accelerate the transition from lab to commercial scale production.
Traditional agriculture depends on weather, seasons, water availability, and land. One bad year and entire supply chains fall apart. Plant cell culture (PCC) changes that equation completely, by directly growing single plant cells in suspension, generating consistent output, minimal land and water use, and year-round production regardless of outside conditions.
Illuminated fermentation is next-level technology that combines fermentation with light, unlocking capabilities that traditional dark fermentation simply can't attain. This landmark achievement in cellular production delivers consistent and continuous generation of valuable natural compounds and optimises yield and costs.
Both collaborates will explore illuminated fermentation technology at the R&D stage and assess its potential to support future scale-up. Traditional coffee (especially high-quality Arabica) is highly sensitive to temperature shifts. Climate change is rapidly shrinking the amount of viable land suitable for coffee farming, with some estimates suggesting up to 50% of current coffee-growing land could be unusable by 2050.
Yonatan Golan, CEO and co-founder of Brevel, said, “Our work in coffee cell cultures serve as a case study for the capabilities of our illuminated fermentation infrastructure. Our recent work has demonstrated the platform's ability to achieve high cell densities while sustaining continuous growth through an advanced semi-continuous cultivation process, paving the way for scalable and efficient production.”
Ami Herman, CEO of Coffeesai, said, “We are encouraged by the initial results from Brevel’s platform and its potential to influence certain aspects of the sensory profile. We continue to evaluate its capabilities as we advance our development efforts and determine future production pathways.”
