“Fat is flavor” is a well-known culinary principle.
But nutritional research suggests consuming too much animal fat may be a factor in the development of many health conditions from dementia to male infertility to Crohn’s disease.
A cutting-edge plant protein-based fat solution, Fatrix, will soon go into commercial production to help food manufacturers reduce total fat and especially saturated fat content.
The product’s developer, Israeli food-tech startup Gavan Technologies (opens in a new tab), has raised $8 million in a Series A round led by MoreVC of Israel with participation from Lever VC; EIT Food, a European Union-supported platform for sustainable food innovations; and DarkBoot Group, a private equity firm involved in Gavan’s incubation.
Gavan Technologies Vice President of R&D Irit Ventura is a Technion alum.
