Lantana Bio

Lantana is an early stage, white biotech company based in Toulouse, Occitanie, France. Our core technology is the engineering of single cellular organisms, notably the baker’s yeast, for production of bioactive plant compounds to be used as ingredients, by partners and customers, in the foods and beverages, dietary supplements, and personal care industries. Our focus is on production of aromatic compounds, mainly those derived from the aromatic amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine, thus including the groups of compounds known as flavonoids and anthocyanins. These compounds, also sometimes referred to as polyphenols, are associated with numerous health benefits, and their use as functional ingredients and dietary supplements has seen a dramatic increase over recent decades. In addition, the anthocyanins are used as natural colorants for foods, beverages, confectionaries, and personal care products.
