MycoTechnology newly identified a sweet protein from honey truffles that has the potential to be used as a truffle alternative and disrupt the conventional sugar and manufactured sweeteners markets. This discovery is a particularly noteworthy one, especially since assessments from the World Health Organization, the International Agency for Research on Cancer and the Food and Agriculture Organization Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives now classify aspartame as "possibly carcinogenic to humans."
Derived from a protein, MycoTechnology's honey truffle sweetener has the potential to change the way foods and beverages are created without the need to rely on traditional sugar or artificial sweeteners. Already, MycoTechnology has several partners interested in using this innovative, truffle-based sweetener.
