Small Business Innovative Research Program Provides $175,000 in Funding for Chi Botanic’s Sustainable Vanilla Technology
ALAMEDA, Calif., May 4, 2023 (Newswire.com)

ChiBotanic Inc. is pleased to announce that its research and commercialization project for a new cell-cultured Vanilla 2.0 technology for a plant-based full-spectrum natural vanilla flavor has been awarded a highly competitive Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Phase I Award of $175,000 from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA).
The proposal, “Vanilla 2.0: A reliable, sustainable, domestic supply of authentic Vanilla planifolia flavor and fragrance,” will help support Chi Botanic’s efforts to solve the many problems facing the natural vanilla supply chain, including a very difficult, laborious, slow-growing agricultural crop limited to tropical climates representing biodiversity hotspots. Political instability and extreme weather in regions where vanilla is grown further contribute to severe price fluctuations.
The technology Chi Botanic is creating will achieve a Vanilla planifolia plant cell culture that can be grown inexpensively anywhere and produce high concentrations of vanillin plus the many other flavor and fragrance metabolites of real vanilla. Major advantages to creation of a plant cell suspension culture specialized for production of the distinctive blend of vanilla phenylpropanoids are as follows:
- Increased value of a complex, plant-based vanilla product over the inferior synthetic vanillin that makes up 99% of the vanilla flavor on the market today.
- Unlike other synthetic biology-based methods, the system will provide the sustainability of fermentation-type methods, yet the end-product will be as complex as pure vanilla extract, which the FDA strictly defines as from vanilla seed pods. Thus, the Chi Botanic product will initially be labeled as “natural vanilla flavor” due to the source plant (Vanilla planifolia) from which the culture is derived, though not strictly from seed pods.
- Economically viable, domestic production with tight control of quality and composition. Co-location with product manufacturing possible.
- Faster growing, processing, and production times compared to farm-grown vanilla.
- Over 18,000 products contain vanillin, yet less than 1% is sourced from the plant (Sethi, 2017). Chi Botanic’s own market research with potential enterprise customers has proven an eagerness to assess and willingness to pay a premium for our proposed product, with one of the world’s largest suppliers of vanilla quoted as “dreaming of the day” when this could be possible.

Defender of the Faith

Author Ray Comfort, CEO and founder of Living Waters Christian ministry, is giving away 500,000 hard copies of his book “Defender of the Faith: Ten Weird Facts about the Coronation,” to U.S audiences interested in the events happening in London this weekend to celebrate King Charles III’s official coronation.
According to Comfort, the book is controversial because it flies in the face of an increasingly secularized world—where many profess atheism and most don’t honor the Bible. “It’s ironic that during the coronation of King Charles, hundreds of millions around the world will essentially be going to church for a two-hour televised church service,” Comfort said. “There they will hear many references to the Christian gospel and hear the Bible greatly honored.”
The author and TV cohost is referring to the fact that during the church service, when King Charles is presented with the Bible, the Archbishop of Canterbury will say, “Sir: to keep you ever mindful of the law and the Gospel of God as the Rule for the whole life and government of Christian Princes, receive this Book, the most valuable thing that this world affords.”
Comfort added, “I want people to understand the significance of the many strange things that will take place during the May 6 coronation: the meaning behind the presentation of three swords, the diamond-crusted orb, the golden scepter, the ancient coronation chair, the mysterious anointing, the king’s extravagant robes, the amazing crown, and so on.”
Comfort’s ministry has also amassed an army of over 20,000 Christians who on coronation day will give away 16 million copies of what looks like a million-pound English note. These will not only be given freely to the millions of observers lining the streets of London, but also be given away in Europe, Canada, Australia, and other parts of the world.
“While the church service makes numerous references to the gospel, it doesn’t articulate it in layman’s language. And so we printed the 16 million copies of the commemorative ‘million-pound note’ explaining it. The word ‘gospel’ simply means ‘good news.’ And the good news is that in the Old Testament, God promised to destroy death, and in the New Testament we are told how He did it. That’s actually the best news this world could ever hope to hear.”
The London Outreach will be live-streamed on Living Waters’ YouTube channel, where commentary will also be provided during the coronation church service.
