CLARISOY’s First Commercial Sales

Burcon NutraScience Corporation, Vancouver, British Columbia, has been notified by the Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM), Decatur, IL, of the first commercial sale of CLARISOY soy protein produced by ADM. Burcon’s CLARISOY, which is under license to ADM, is a vegetable-based protein capable of offering both clarity and complete nutrition in low pH beverage systems.

“Today’s announcement of the first commercial sale of CLARISOY soy protein is an historic milestone for Burcon and we are thrilled by the speed with which ADM has brought this exciting protein to market,” said Johann F. Tergesen, president and chief operating officer. He added, “Since licensing Burcon’s CLARISOYtechnology in March 2011, ADM has launched CLARISOY100 at the 2011 IFT Expo; brought a first commercial production facility online in early 2012; launched CLARISOY150, the first extension to the CLARISOY product line at the 2012 IFT Expo; and has now made its first commercial sale. We look forward to more commercial advancements for CLARISOY soy protein.”
