How we scored it
Filtrate from fermentation of Galactomyces yeast on a sugar substrate; fermentation products scored 1.0 by this site's convention.
What counts. ISO 16128-2 scores the atoms that remain in the final ingredient. Reagents, solvents, catalysts and protecting groups used during manufacture leave no mass behind and are not counted.
Where it comes from
