IFF<\/a>\u00a0(NYSE: IFF) \u2014 a global leader in flavors, fragrances, food ingredients, health and biosciences \u2014 announced the first large-scale commercial use of its\u00a0Designed Enzymatic Biomaterials\u2122 (DEB) platform<\/a>, as a major consumer packaged goods (CPG) company has launched a new laundry detergent formulation enhanced by DEB technology. The formulation delivers improved fabric softness and cleaning performance while replacing non-biodegradable ingredients with a readily biodegradable alternative.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cDEB has the power to redefine how (bio)chemical materials will look in the 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century: tailored, functional, nature-inspired and safer,\u201d said Leticia Gon\u00e7alves, president of Health & Biosciences at IFF.<\/strong> \u201cIt brings together biotechnology, molecular design and sustainability to deliver solutions that were unimaginable just a few years ago. This launch is just the beginning \u2014 DEB\u2019s potential reaches far beyond any single category, and we\u2019re exploring what sustainability and performance benefits it can unlock across different industries.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Developed by IFF\u2019s Health & Biosciences business unit, the DEB platform leverages advanced bioscience to create unique and structurally diverse polysaccharides like those found in nature, but at scale, with accuracy and consistency typically only found in traditional industrial polymers. Engineered from renewable plant sugar sources, these biomaterials are customized to enable tailored functionality and deliver specific performance attributes across applications. In laundry formulations, the Lyrature<\/a>\u2122 portfolio with DEB-based products will replace persistent, non-biodegradable ingredients such as polyquaterniums, offering a bio-based solution that enhances surface modification and supports anti-redeposition benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n

IFF is further scaling DEB through its joint venture with Kemira,\u00a0Alpha Bio, which will house a first-of-its-kind manufacturing asset dedicated to DEB-based materials. Following extensive process and product validation at the Kokem\u00e4ki and Jokioinen plants in\u00a0Finland, AlphaBio is working with a growing network of customers and partners to bring DEB-based solutions from this facility to multiple market sectors starting in 2027. As the platform evolves, IFF is focused on unlocking its full potential, delivering products that meet the demands of modern performance while advancing a more sustainable future across industries, including health, nutrition, beauty, packaging, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
