Nat4bio

At NAT4Bio, we develop naturally-sourced coatings that protect fruits and vegetables from spoilage and decay. We leverage microbial fermentation of selected fungi & bacteria in order to produce natural compounds with relevant properties. Through carefully designed downstream processes, we are able to obtain cell-free compounds, meaning we use microbes' active principles without the microbes themselves. Our first product is a natural and edible coating for fresh lemons that could potentially replace the combination of waxes and chemical fungicides. We are also working with blueberries and avocados, and we aim to expand our portfolio to address the needs of every fruit class.
