Cysal

Cysal is a German biotechnology company that focuses on the biotechnological production of dipeptides and amino acids using a proprietary fermentation platform. The company utilizes the biopolymer cyanophycin as a precursor to manufacture high-purity dipeptides, such as L-aspartyl-L-arginine, which offer improved solubility and stability. These products are primarily targeted at the cosmetics, animal nutrition, and pharmaceutical industries. By replacing traditional chemical synthesis with sustainable fermentation, Cysal provides an eco-friendly alternative for the production of complex nutritional and active ingredients. The company is a spin-off from the University of Münster and maintains strong ties to academic research in microbiology. Their lead products are already commercially available for use in high-end skincare formulations and specialized animal feed.
