Korean award-winning food-tech startup, HN Novatech launched ACOMS: the world’s first proprietary heme-based seaweed ingredient for plant-based meat applications. On the 16th of August 2023, a group of leading south-east asian investors were treated to an exclusive and first taste test of HN Novatech’s signature ingredient, during Novatech’s exclusive S.E.A launch in Singapore jointly organised by Singapore Tembusutech Innovation and KILSA Global.
ACOMS, the name of the X-factor protein found and extracted from Seaweed, when applied to plant based meat primers, is what gives it it’s “accurate meat” flavour.
