Through its direct-to-consumer site, consumers can now buy 1-gallon jugs of Calyno high oleic soybean cooking oil. Each order will come with three recipes on how to use the oil in everyday food preparations.
“Our e-commerce launch offers consumers a new option that is heart-healthy and highly functional,” said Jim Blome, CEO of Calyxt.
“We are thrilled to provide consumers access to our premium oil – an incredible new offering for individuals and smaller dining establishments. We look forward to this exciting next step in our commercialization process.”
Cooking oil serves as proof of concept
Minnesota-based Calyxt uses advanced gene editing technology developed by the company’s co-founder and chief science officer, Dan Voytas, Ph.D., that allows for precision targeting of existing genes with a plant’s genome allowing scientists to select for desired characteristics and accelerate the breeding process.
"We’re doing what farmers and botanists have been doing for hundreds of years: choosing the best crops and breeding them to make stronger, more sustainable plants. We accelerate that process with leading-edge TALEN® technology to enhance the unique characteristics that naturally exist in each plant, allowing us to develop healthier and more sustainable ingredients," Trina Lundblad, director of corporate communications at Calyxt, told FoodNavigator-USA.
“The commercialization of our HO soybean products serves as proof of concept and sets the stage for future growth,” she said, adding that the precision breeding technology can be applied to many crops from wheat to hemp.
