# Role of Blue/Green LED technology in sustainable chocolate production

 Published by [Dr. Verena Krieger](https://news.nippongenetics.eu/en/author/dr.-verena-krieger?hsLang=en) on  Oct 25, 2024, 10:16:28 AM

From the biotech lab to chocolate production! Planet A Foods shares valuable insights into how NIPPON Genetics' [Blue/Green LED technology](https://pages.nippongenetics.eu/blue/green-led-technology?hsLang=en) is driving more sustainable chocolate production.

The innovative LED technology (using the new [FastGene® FAS-X](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/en/products/gel-documentation/gel-documentation-systems/high-end/fastgene-fas-x/) gel documentation system) improves the accuracy of DNA analysis during the fermentation of chocolate alternatives without use of cocoa.

*The team at Planet A Foods wants to save 500 million tons of CO2/greenhouse gas equivalents every year by producing the world’s first 100% cocoa-free chocolate.*

By avoiding UV radiation, the Blue/Green LED technology preserves DNA integrity, reduces environmental impact, and improves product quality, marking a step towards greener chocolate.

This is a good example of how the Blue/Green LED technology is making a real difference across industries.
