Shanghai Zelixir Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (“Zelixir”) announced the launch of its advanced green manufacturing facility in Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province. This facility represents a significant advancement in the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and synthetic biology, bridging the gap between computational research and industrial production. Its product line encompasses natural flavors, functional food ingredients, and beauty ingredients.

Zelixir CEO, Dr. Sheng Wang, emphasized the company’s innovative approach—’discovering pathways → extracting enzymes → engineering enzymes’—and its commitment to enzyme synthesis. This new plant will dramatically accelerate the production of bio-based materials for the food, cosmetics, and healthcare sectors. The company aims to drive technological innovation and deliver eco-friendly, sustainable products.

Zelixir’s first product, Sustainable Natural Vanillin ex-Ferulic Acid, is nearing mass production. This vanillin, produced using AI-optimized enzymes and sustainable processes, offers a rich, long-lasting vanilla aroma.

This product addresses the impurity odor problem common in chemically synthesized vanillin and is unaffected by crop yields or climate variability. The swift transition from project launch to large-scale production in just 18 months showcases the industrial capabilities of AI-driven biomanufacturing. Certified by FEMA GRAS under the FDA, this product is projected to reach a hundred-ton production scale, making it globally accessible and catering to the flavor enhancement needs of high-end food industries.

The synergy of AI and biotechnology demonstrates remarkable potential in biomanufacturing. Dr. Wang believes this will revolutionize the biomanufacturing industry and initiate a new era of sustainable living, enabling intelligent and eco-friendly production of chemicals, materials, and energy. He anticipates this vision becoming reality within the next 5 to 10 years through advanced AI integration.
