Kuehnle AgroSystems, Inc. (KAS) curates a unique set of algae originating from pristine waters and ecosystems of Hawaii, as well as tropical botanical accessions representing plants prized by Polynesian voyagers. KAS has numerous patents and patents pending to support products and processes that meet natural products standards under strict quality control for applications in personal care ingredients and aquaculture feed.
Our technology, know-how and relational databases allow for high-performance strain and ingredient development using flow cytometry, multivariate gene expression and bioactivity screening; active ingredient extractions, upgrades, and formulations; and process development to pilot manufacturing. Increasingly, food, feed and personal care industries are pivoting to fermentation-derived extracts to meet the demand for natural, high quality, yet less expensive ingredients. We take this one step further by enabling robust commercial production on pulp and paper industry residuals.
