Product description

Propagreater is a BacLyte‑based microbial growth enhancer designed to revolutionize yeast-driven alcohol fermentation in distilling processes. This innovative solution is formulated from organic banana extract, fortified through water-based extraction and filtration. It acts as a natural “steroid” for yeast cells, significantly reducing lag phase, accelerating growth, and increasing biomass production.

By seamlessly integrating into existing fermentation systems across various feedstocks like grain, molasses, sugarcane, and potato, Propagreater optimizes the fermentation process, leading to faster cycles, higher ethanol yields (up to 20% increase), and reduced water and energy consumption. Tested and approved by leading UK distillers, this solution enhances profitability by maximizing output per batch and shortening production timelines.

Moreover, Propagreater is not only a game-changer in terms of efficiency but also in sustainability. Derived from waste bananas, it prevents organic waste from ending up in landfills, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and adds value to the agricultural supply chain. This green, science-backed solution empowers industries to scale more sustainably and efficiently, aligning commercial performance with environmental responsibility.

About the Company

LyteGro is a biotech innovator based in Leicester, UK, pioneering the circular economy through its flagship technology, BacLyte—a water-based extract derived from discarded black bananas. By transforming food waste into a powerful natural growth stimulator for microbes used in fermentation, bioethanol production, biogas generation and enzyme manufacture, LyteGro boosts industrial yield while reducing resource consumption. Their approach tackles environmental issues by diverting banana waste from landfills, cutting greenhouse gas emissions, and providing farmers with an additional income stream. Commercial trials have shown alcohol yield increases of 10–20% and a 40% reduction in fermentation time. With a commitment to sustainability, efficiency and social impact, LyteGro is scaling globally to empower greener manufacturing processes and further drive the transition towards a more sustainable, bio-based economy.
