Our Journey
Myrazine LLC
EU Natural Ingredients from Fermentation
Myrazine LLCwas formed in 2015. However, our search for natural ingredients for the industry started in 2000. We started as an importer from China for our customers in the east coast of the United States. The company was first created in 1993 by a group of chemical and business professionals, Fielding Smith, Jerry Bertrand, Dr. Allen L Hall and Benjamin Cheng. Later, the company changed its name to Abioco, since it has been focusing on its search for bio-flavour materials from China's fermentation broth. With a group of researchers working in China, Benjamin Cheng established a biochemical lab in Hefei in 2002, starting his search for EU natural ingredients. By working together with Dr. Allen Hall, Abioco spent five years (2002-2006) developing its proprietary process to fractionate ingredients from fermentation broth.
In 2006, Dr. Allen Hall was diagnosed to have cancer and passed away in 2009. Benjamin continued the search and set up the company's pilot production in Hefei, Anhui China. On the New Years' Day of 2007, the process was finally completed. Our first batch of Pyrazine Mixtures was "fished out" with over 80% of purity.
Hit by Asia financial crisis in 2007, the loss of his life time business partner---D. Hall, and some other personal mishaps, Benjamin went into the mountains in China, and traveled towards Tibet. Then he spent the next few years in his home town village and taught children English free of charge.
In 2014, a company called and hired him as a consultant for their flavour material business unit in Shanghai. A year later, Benjamin formed his present business to continue its journey for Natual ingredients.
With his new business partners now, Myrazine LLC has its distillation and fractionation facility in Anhui, China to produce natural pyrazine mixtures (over 80%) and other natural esters from Chinese fermentation "wastes". The company's high-end pyrazine production facility is located in Salt Lake City, Utah, where it fractionates about 12 individual natural pyrazines. All the materials are sourced from fermentation.
