Company patents
DANISCO US INC.
DANISCO US INC's patent strategy reveals a strong and growing commitment to Fermentation & Biosynthesis, which constitutes 41.3% of its portfolio and saw a remarkable 111.1% YoY growth in 2024 and 63.2% in 2025, indicating an emerging focus despite a partial decline so far in 2026. While Peptides & Proteins also shows growth, the significant 200.0% YoY increase in Foods & Beverages patents so far in 2026 suggests a surprising renewed interest in this sector, which previously saw a 50.0% decline in 2025.

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.
Methods and systems for the efficient and scalable production, purification, and formulation of proteins and peptides, including fermentation, chromatography, and cell-based expression systems.
Modifying microorganisms, plant cells, or animal cells through genetic engineering to enhance or enable the biosynthesis of target compounds, often involving metabolic pathway engineering.
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.
Developing advanced bioreactor designs, fermentation strategies, and downstream processing techniques to optimize yield, purity, and efficiency of biotechnological production.
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.
Development of therapeutic approaches involving the genetic modification of cells (e.g., T cells, stem cells, macrophages) or the use of viral/non-viral vectors to deliver genetic material for disease treatment.
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.
Design and modification of antibodies or antibody-derived fragments for targeted therapeutic intervention, including bispecific formats, Fc region modifications, and activatable constructs.
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.
