Our proprietary biomanufacturing platform puts performance first, sustainably.

We provide a full portfolio of multifunctional biosurfactants and bio-based surfactants with top performance for detergency, emulsification, solubilization, wetting, and dispersion. The portfolio includes non-ionics and anionics spanning a wide range of hydrophilic-lipophilic balance. Our technology uses only sugars derived from commercial or waste feedstocks, so our products are palm-free and petroleum-free – completely oil-free!

Ruby's 100% natural food emulsifiers can be used to boost performance and shelf life of baked goods, beverages, and confectionary products. Our emulsifiers can be used as a natural alternative to traditional food additives such as lecithins and triglycerides, as well as polysorbates, DATEMs, and other commonly used synthetic ingredients. We can enable clean and natural labeling for a wide range of applications.

Our fermentation can produce a wide range of common polyol sweeteners, including mannitol and erythritol. We also produce arabitol, a natural polyol sweetener with nutraceutical benefits and no known association with gastric disorder. In contrast to synthetic polyol sweeteners, our portfolio is fermentation-based, 100% natural, and cost competitive. Non-GMO options are available.

Ruby’s biomonomers serve as functional replacements for monomers and other building blocks used in polyurethanes, polyesters, polyamides, and other common polymers. These materials are 100% bio-based, and they can be produced from sugar or up-cycled waste feedstocks for a renewable, non-petroleum solution for polymers and packaging with very low carbon intensity. Our sweet spot is medium- and long-chain molecules, which can add unique performance for adhesives, coatings, and lubricants.

We provide medium- and long-chain fatty alcohols, fatty acids, hydroxy fatty acids, and the corresponding esters. We derive our products from sugar or up-cycled waste feedstocks for drop-in replacements of conventional oleochemicals, which provides lower carbon intensity than conventional approaches. We can provide standard compositions of C₈/C₁₀, C₁₂/C₁₄, and C₁₆/C₁₈ alcohols and acids, as well as discrete carbon chains or customized mixtures.
