IFF announced the first large-scale commercial use of its Designed Enzymatic Biomaterials™ (DEB) platform, with a major consumer packaged goods company launching a new laundry detergent formulation enhanced by DEB technology. This formulation delivers improved fabric softness and cleaning performance.
The DEB technology replaces non-biodegradable ingredients with a readily biodegradable alternative, aligning with growing demand for sustainable solutions. Leticia Gonçalves, president of Health & Biosciences at IFF, stated that DEB has the power to redefine biochemical materials by being tailored, functional, nature-inspired, and safer.
The Lyrature™ portfolio, featuring DEB-based products, will replace persistent, non-biodegradable ingredients like polyquaterniums in laundry formulations, offering bio-based solutions for surface modification and anti-redeposition benefits. IFF is further scaling DEB through its Alpha Bio joint venture with Kemira, with a dedicated manufacturing asset expected to start production in 2027.
