Delaware Patent of the Month – June 2025

Alcheme Bio Inc. has secured U.S. Patent No. 12319933 for “Systems, methods, and compositions for production of cellular agriculture products.” The patented system boosts flavor, nutrition, and efficiency in lab-grown foods. It offers a new way to make sustainable food taste great and scale production.

Innovation in Cellular Agriculture

This invention describes a versatile platform that tailors cellular growth environments to enhance taste and texture. By adjusting nutrient blends and enzyme inputs, the system drives cells to produce real food characteristics-without relying on artificial additives. It promises cleaner labels, more natural flavors, and reduced manufacturing complexity.

Real-World Impact

The technology could change how companies make cell‑based meat, dairy, and seafood. It streamlines development and lowers costs by embedding flavor formation into early stages. Manufacturers can fine‑tune taste profiles while maintaining nutritional value. This improves consumer experience and accelerates market readiness.

Clear Benefits for Consumers and Industry

Unlike current methods that mask flavor during later processing, this system builds flavor from the ground up. It supports non‑GMO, clean‑label promises and aligns with growing demand for sustainable, ethical food choices. The method also reduces waste and energy use, aiding environmental goals.

Next Steps

With Patent No. 12319933 granted, Alcheme Bio Inc. gains valuable IP protection. The company can now partner with food producers and scale the technology. This marks a major milestone in making cell‑based products commercially viable and flavorful.
