We are looking for alternatives to Palm Kernel Oil which are not considered premium fats and have a potentially fully scalable supply chain. Can be a single drop in replacement or a blend of ingredients to cover the full functionality of the Palm oils currently used.
A number of blends of different premium fats can replace Palm Kernel but all of the currently available have prohibitive cost structures.
New sources/ novel local oils (e.g. Macaúba from Cerrado in Brazil)/ oil hybridization
Coconut derived fats or Hydrogenation as a process for obtaining the fat; alternatives built with composing mono and di-glycerides and waxes; GMO (or biological engineered sources
At this moment we are open to Licensing and Supply (ideas closer to commercialization)
