ZuChem specializes in the development of proprietary bioprocesses for the production of carbohydrates, focusing on human health and nutrition. The company has established a strong reputation for creating scalable and economically viable industrial processes, particularly through its innovative fermentation technology for xylitol production. This method not only provides a natural alternative to traditional chemical hydrogenation processes but also addresses longstanding issues related to raw material supply, cost, and quality. ZuChem's collaboration with Quianyan Alloy Materials has resulted in the establishment of a state-of-the-art production facility in China, which is now operational and producing xylitol under the SweetAppeal™ brand.

In addition to xylitol, ZuChem is engaged in the custom synthesis of rare and modified sugars for pharmaceutical applications, leveraging its advanced technology platform. This platform encompasses proprietary carbohydrate conversion enzymes, production strains, and metabolic engineering systems, enabling the scalable production of a variety of carbohydrate-based products. ZuChem's commitment to bioprocess development allows for the creation of cost-effective and efficient processes tailored to meet specific customer needs, thereby facilitating the advancement of glycotechnology and its applications in both food and pharmaceutical industries.
