Moolec, whose technological platform has been under development for more than a decade, is known for pioneering the production of a bovine protein in a crop for the food industry. With the development and commercialization of the world's first product for the food industry using Molecular Farming, Moolec shattered barriers and revealed the potential of this groundbreaking technology in the industrial biotech sector. This milestone transcended the limitations of traditional biotech practices, opening doors to innovation previously confined to pharmaceuticals.

The recently patented technology encompasses safflower plants, inclusive of their seeds, engineered with specific DNA sequences (transgenic event) aimed at improving the expression of bovine chymosin in safflower seeds.

Amit Dhingra, Moolec Science's Chief Science Officer, emphasized, "This new family of patents not only ensures intellectual property protection for our product but also represents a platform for additional opportunities for Moolec's safflower platform." He then finished by saying, "It positions us to produce new proteins and products, leveraging the unique attributes of this crop. Moolec remains committed to innovative advancements in sustainable biotechnology, driving impactful change across food industries."

Additionally, the patent extends to cover the DNA vectors utilized for transforming the safflower plant and the DNA sequences required for detecting the transgenic event.

While the patent has been successfully secured in the United States, a parallel application has been submitted in Argentina, a crucial strategic territory for Moolec's safflower technology initiatives. Although the Argentinian patent application is currently pending, the patent family boasts a lifespan extending until 2041.
