Natural Preservation for Foods & Beverages
Chinova Bioworks leads the way in harnessing the protective power of mushrooms, delivering solutions that reduce food waste, promote sustainability, and improve product freshness for consumers and producers alike.
Chinova Bioworks was founded in 2016 by Natasha Dhayagude and David Brown, who met at an entrepreneurship accelerator in New Brunswick. Driven by a shared passion for sustainability, reducing food waste, and the incredible potential of mushrooms, they discovered a groundbreaking solution: a natural alternative to artificial preservatives using fiber found in white button mushrooms.
Partnering with farmers, they upcycled white button mushroom stems—an often discarded byproduct—and developed a patented green-chemistry process to create innovative ingredients.
After years of dedicated research and securing regulatory approvals, Chinova Bioworks launched Chiber™, a natural fiber extracted from upcycled mushroom stems. Chiber™ enhances the shelf life of food and beverages while meeting consumer demands for clean-label, sustainable, and high-quality ingredients.
Today, Chinova Bioworks continues to lead the way in harnessing the protective power of mushrooms, delivering solutions that reduce food waste, promote sustainability, and improve product freshness for consumers and producers alike.
Chiber™ for Non-Alcoholic Beers
Improve the quality, freshness, and shelf-life of Non-Alcoholic Beers with Chiber™
In the production of Chiber™, white button mushrooms from farms are collected, cleaned, and put through an eco-friendly extraction process to isolate the pure fibers. The fibers are then dissolved in a food-grade mixture of water and organic acid to produce the final liquid Chiber™ ingredient, ready for use as an antimicrobial ingredient in all types of non-alcoholic beer.
