UMeWorld Limited Establishes Product Innovation & Development Center

UMeWorld Limited is accelerating its long-term strategy to deliver science-backed, nutrition-forward consumer products with the establishment of a new Product Innovation & Development Center and the appointment of Dr. Zhang Guangxian as Chief Scientist. Dr. Zhang brings over two decades of industry experience in enzymatic science and commercial food innovation, with a strong track record of developing functional ingredients and nutrition-based solutions for large-scale production. His leadership will be instrumental in driving product development efforts that address key public health challenges through everyday foods.

The new center will focus on transforming advanced science into market-ready products, targeting major health issues such as metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disease, and obesity. By leveraging enzymatic technology, UMeWorld aims to create functional food innovations that are both highly effective and accessible to mainstream consumers. UMeWorld is also preparing for the U.S. launch of its highly anticipated DAGola Gourmet Blend, Master Chef Blend, and Vitality Blend.

Production is already underway at its contract manufacturing facility in California, and the company anticipates these premium cooking oils will be available to U.S. consumers by early May. Formulated with non-seed oils, these blends respond to growing demand for clean-label, health-focused fats. The launch comes amid heightened consumer interest in dietary fats and their role in chronic disease.

Public awareness is shifting toward the importance of fat quality in preventing metabolic disorders and improving overall health. UMeWorld believes that targeted dietary interventions–particularly through improved fat quality – can play a meaningful role in reversing or mitigating these chronic conditions. In addition to marketing DAGola oil under its own brand, UMeWorld is executing a multi-channel go-to-market strategy that includes supplying DAG oil to food manufacturers, especially those producing fried and processed foods such as chips, chicken, and seafood.

The company is also entering the private label market, offering DAG-based oils to supermarket chains seeking functional, better-for-you pantry items for their consumers. According to market research, the global healthy cooking oil market is projected to surpass USD 30 billion by 2030, fueled by growing awareness of the relationship between diet and chronic illness. With its proprietary enzymatic technology and unique triglyceride-reducing formulation, UMeWorld is well-positioned to lead in this rapidly expanding category.

UMeWorld has also identified Japan as its next strategic growth market. With an aging population and high demand for functional, health-enhancing foods, Japan represents an ideal opportunity for DAGola’s science-driven offerings. The company is currently engaging with potential distribution and retail partners in the region.

Looking ahead, UMeWorld will continue to expand its product pipeline, deepen its strategic partnerships, and grow its international presence. Amid global economic uncertainty and rising healthcare costs, the company sees strong momentum for affordable, accessible innovations that empower consumers to take control of their health through smarter food choices.
