Amyris, which produces ingredients in the health and wellness, clean beauty and flavors and fragrances markets, said it has clinched a deal with newly formed LAVVAN Inc., which is working on bringing the first fermentation-derived cannabinoid products to market.
The announcement comes after a previously announced term sheet and includes further milestone payments related to additional targeted products.
Amyris, with its expertise in terpenes, said it will leverage its automated processes and R&D staff in the development of cannabinoid pathways.
