Company patents
AMANO ENZYME INC.
AMANO ENZYME INC. surprisingly shows a shifting priority away from its core Foods & Beverages category, which represents 43.2% of its portfolio but has seen a -8.3% decline in 2025 and a significant -54.5% drop so far in 2026. Concurrently, the company is demonstrating an emerging focus on Pharmaceutical Preparations, with a remarkable 200.0% year-over-year growth in 2026, indicating a strategic pivot towards the pharma_biotech sector despite overall declines in other related categories like Fermentation & Biosynthesis.

Methods and compositions for developing new protein sources (e.g., microbial, plant-based blends) or utilizing controlled fermentation processes to create novel food products, improve nutritional profiles, or enhance specific characteristics like texture or flavor.
Techniques and equipment for transforming raw food materials into finished products, focusing on efficiency, quality, texture modification, or specific physical alterations like extrusion, drying, or selective material removal.
Innovations in creating food products from plant proteins and other ingredients that closely mimic the texture, appearance, and taste of traditional animal-based meat or fish, often involving specific protein structuring or layering techniques.
Identifying novel enzymes or modifying existing enzymes through mutagenesis and directed evolution to improve catalytic activity, substrate specificity, or stability for industrial biotransformations.
Modification of protein or peptide sequences, structures, or post-translational modifications (e.g., glycosylation, lipidation) to enhance their stability, solubility, delivery, or therapeutic efficacy.
Methods and systems for the efficient and scalable production, purification, and formulation of proteins and peptides, including fermentation, chromatography, and cell-based expression systems.
Innovations in formulating food products by manipulating specific ingredients, emulsifiers, flavor compounds, or processing aids to achieve desired sensory properties (taste, aroma, texture) or enhance shelf stability.
Development of food compositions, beverages, or powders designed to provide specific health benefits beyond basic nutrition, such as weight management, anti-aging, exercise support, or targeted disease prevention/treatment, often incorporating bioactive compounds or probiotics.
Developing advanced bioreactor designs, fermentation strategies, and downstream processing techniques to optimize yield, purity, and efficiency of biotechnological production.
Modifying microorganisms, plant cells, or animal cells through genetic engineering to enhance or enable the biosynthesis of target compounds, often involving metabolic pathway engineering.
