Bioscience
The Yops® technology is transforming the beer industry
Our Yops® technology represents a breakthrough in sustainable aroma production. This innovative platform uses precision fermentation to create natural, sustainable aromas for the food and beverage industry, delivering vibrant flavors while minimizing environmental impact.
Developed after years of pioneering research and advanced aroma technology, our technology surpasses all other methods and, for the first time, enables a cost-effective biotechnological production of the volatile hop aroma molecules – monoterpenes – found in fresh hops.
Natural scents are one of nature’s true wonders. Imagine the vibrant aromas of basil, oregano, lavender, citrus and hops. Through dedicated research and advanced aroma technology, our team has found a way to harness yeast to replicate complex natural flavors, bringing these aromas to life for brewers and beyond.
These sustainable natural flavors have the potential to transform various industries. While we’re starting with hop terpenes for brewing, Yops® offers food and beverage producers a path to a more flavorful and sustainable future.
