Phytolon: Halim Jubran and Tal Zeltzer

  • Summary

  • Candies, cakes, salad dressing, plant-based meats, butter; all these foods and so many more contain food coloring. Food coloring traditionally came from plants but today it comes from petrochemicals.

    But now, the bioengineering company Phytolon has found a new way to make food colorings sustainably--and affordably!--using microbes!

    Hear from Phytolon's founders about the science behind their breakthrough, how fabrics could be dyed with the same method, and how starting a company in Israel as Jewish and Arab co-founders is bringing communities and families together.
