About Us
Wurgaft
Food Innovation Center
Based in Oregon, our state-of-the-art, food-grade facility is uniquely equipped to accelerate every stage of development—from lab-scale ideation to full commercial readiness. Unlike traditional labs that focus narrowly on one phase, we are here to bridge the entire productization journey with rare in-house capabilities in extraction, fractionation, filtration, spray drying, custom blending and many more.
With over 25 years of hands-on innovation in food technology and proprietary process engineering, we accelerate and de-risk the most critical—and costly—stages of R&D and market validation. Whether it's a novel algae-based ingredient or a complex botanical formulation, we leverage our deep expertise and versatile toolkit to transform breakthrough ideas into shelf-ready solutions—faster and more effectively than anyone in the industry.
