PERKii
Operating

PERKii™ is a foodtech start-up from the University of Queensland, a leader in Australian food innovation, creating an improved way to deliver probiotics and their benefits to the mainstream consumer. Utilizing encapsulation technology, the microgel technology protects, increases stability and biodelivery, while masking taste in tiny natural seaweed beads, all at a size below mouth detection. PERKii has used the patented-technology, to created a world-first non-carbonated probiotic beverage with +1 billion microencapsulated probiotics, only 37 calories, all in a refreshing, light and great tasting low-sugar drink, now available in 4000 stores across Australia. Available in Coles and Coles Express, Woolworths and Woolworths Metro, Caltex, Zambrero and leading Australian independent grocers, PERKii's still probiotic drink currently comes in 5 delicious flavours: Strawberry Watermelon, Mango Passionfruit, Forest Berry, Tropical Splash & Apple Ginger. This is an addition to our brand new, 100% plant based, sparkling variant that has recently been launched exclusively online, in flavours Apple Ginger, Watermelon Cucumber Mint & Orange Mango Passionfruit! The technology is agnostic in nature, working on all probiotics and active ingredients, with adaption to a wide range of formats including a new product development pipeline of juice, sparkling, milk and yogurt formats.
