Phytolon develops natural food colorants through proprietary precision fermentation, producing a palette based on two core pigments—yellow and purple—that yield colors across yellow, orange, red, pink, and purple. Its portfolio includes Beetroot Red, which has received FDA approval pending procedural timing. The company emphasizes cost efficiency, robust supply, and environmental sustainability as differentiators for its fermentation-derived colors. Found in Yokne'am, Israel, Phytolon aims to commercialize its products for CPGs and distribution partners in the U.S. and beyond. Following the $23.6 million Series B, the company plans to allocate proceeds to support sales and scaling of supply and distribution.
