About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded $173,497 to Visionary Fiber Technologies, Inc., on September 30, 2025, under the Small Business Innovation Research Program (CFDA 10.212) to develop an immobilized enzyme fiber reactor for converting readily available oils and fats into human milkfat substitute for infant formula production. The project targets oleoyl-palmitoyl-olein (OPO), a fat naturally concentrated in human breastmilk that is highly digestible by infants and critical for early development. By employing immobilized enzyme techniques, the research aims to reduce production costs of this essential nutritional ingredient for infant formula. The award is a Phase I project grant with performance through November 30, 2026, conducted in Lockhart, Texas.
