Technology

At MicroLub, our mission is to establish a platform of science-led innovative ingredients at the forefront of developing smoother and creamier textures for reduced-fat foods, plant-based foods, consumer healthcare, and personal care applications, addressing key societal and environmental needs.  

With three patents filed, our robust platform addresses the reduction of molecular friction across a wide range of sectors. 

Our revolutionary science features bespoke protein-based molecular sponges called “microgels,” coated with highly hydrated polysaccharides in a unique patchy architecture, delivering exceptional hydration lubrication. This innovative approach provides a rich, fatty, smooth feel without the use of fats.  

MicroLub combines the versatile properties of proteins and polysaccharides with advanced physical techniques. Leveraging the diverse range of available proteins and polysaccharides, we lead the way in developing natural friction reduction solutions that are free from regulatory approval requirements.
