Founded in 2020 by biotechnology engineer Kris Blanchard, the company focuses on scaling sustainable and cost-effective meat production using precision fermentation to produce animal proteins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The grants include approximately $1 million from Chile\u2019s Economic Development Agency (CORFO) and $250,000 from the Good Food Institute (GFI). CORFO\u2019s funding will support the development of thermostable growth factors and nutrient-rich media supplements derived from agro-industrial by-products, aimed at reducing costs and improving scalability. GFI\u2019s grant will fund the creation of a nutrient-rich media supplement using hydrolysates from lupin waste and lipid-producing yeast, addressing the high expense of traditional cell culture media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luyef is commercializing a bovine myoglobin ingredient, TAMEE (The Authentic Meat-Eating Experience), to enhance the taste and color of plant-based and cultivated meat products. With support from investors such as Sustainable Food Ventures, Big Idea Ventures, and others, the startup is also pursuing a $4 million seed round to further its mission. Recognized as one of Hello Tomorrow\u2019s Deep Tech Pioneers, Luyef continues to gain traction in the biotechnology field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Blanchard emphasized the significance of these grants, noting that they represent progress toward a sustainable and animal-free production system while highlighting the Chilean government\u2019s role in supporting high-risk technologies. The funding positions Luyef to make further strides in addressing the challenges of scalability and sustainability in cultivated meat production.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Luyef, uma startup chilena de biotecnologia, recebeu $1,25 milh\u00e3o em subs\u00eddios para promover tecnologias sustent\u00e1veis e econ\u00f4micas de produ\u00e7\u00e3o de carne cultivada.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":17302,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[332,410],"tags":[228,247,321,1007],"class_list":["post-17301","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-tribu","tag-chile","tag-cultivated-meat","tag-funding","tag-luyef"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/luyef.webp","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-15 17:07:20","action":"category","newStatus":"draft","terms":[337],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17301","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17301"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17301\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17303,"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17301\/revisions\/17303"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17302"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17301"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
