Comet Bio uses its patented upcycling technology to produce innovative ingredients from crop co-products such as low-glycemic sweeteners and prebiotic and animal feed ingredients. For example, Comet's Arrabina Arabinoxylan Plant Fiber Extract is a premium prebiotic dietary fiber with superior tolerability and functionality. Arrabina is clinically proven to promote healthy gut bacteria growth, help maintain healthy blood glucose levels, and support immunity. The proposed approach of the project connects points along Comet's continued growth and development trajectory, namely: evaluation of new low-cost Canadian feedstocks in support of future production and extension of the health benefits of Arrabina as well as next-generation prebiotic products in support of meeting client demand and increasing revenues. In collaboration with Lambton College, Comet seeks to: (1) Evaluate pea processing co-products as feedstocks for conversion to sweeteners and prebiotics, (2) Develop new pea co-products to sweeteners and prebiotics production process using enzyme recycling, (3) Determine phenolic and polyphenolic content of pea residue after conversion to products, and (4) Determine the effect of experimentally derived sweeteners, phenolics, and polyphenolics on the probiotic Akkermansia muciniphila. The successful results will inform the scale-up of Comet's process in partnership with a Saskatchewan pea processor within two years of project completion. It is anticipated that the success of this project will lead to job creation of 60 operations and research, design, and construction employees to support full-scale plant implementation for a ~$50-100MM plant in Saskatchewan. This project will also significantly increase the competitiveness of the process developed by Comet by optimizing enzyme consumption and reducing one of the most significant economic cost drivers.

COMET BIO使用其专利的升级技术来生产创新的成分，例如低血糖甜味剂以及益生元和动物饲料成分等作物。例如，彗星的Arrabina Arabinoxylan植物纤维提取物是一种优质的益生元饮食纤维，具有出色的耐受性和功能。在临床上证明了Arrabina可以促进健康的肠道细菌生长，有助于维持健康的血糖水平并支持免疫。 该项目的拟议方法将彗星的持续增长和发展轨迹连接起来，即：对新的低成本加拿大原料的评估，以支持未来的生产和扩展Arrabina的健康益处以及下一代前生物前生物，以支持满足客户需求并增加收入。与兰布顿学院合作，彗星试图：（1）评估豌豆加工偶联物作为转化为甜味剂和益生元的原料，（2）使用酶的酶再生产为甜味剂和益生元的生产过程开发新的PEA生产，并使用酶再循环效果，（3）确定现象和多态含量的效果，并确定豌豆的含量，并确定了Sweetient severiend sexpriend（4），（4）和4（4），（4在益生菌akkermansia粘膜上的酚类和多酚。 成功的结果将在项目完成后的两年内与萨斯喀彻温豌豆处理器合作，为彗星的流程规模扩大。预计该项目的成功将导致60个运营以及研究，设计和建筑员工的就业机会支持萨斯喀彻温省约50-100mm工厂的全面工厂实施。该项目还将通过优化酶消耗和减少最重要的经济成本驱动因素之一，从而大大提高彗星开发的过程的竞争力。
