It seems crazy that a few companies can hoard the information on a decades old process and gate keep others out of the field. I understand there's trade secrets but this is not a soda recipe lol.

I do not think they are hoarding what they spent many years in developing, not to mention the monetary costs. Your free to do a startup and see what it takes and then face the realism that the synthetic gem industry is not going to reward you in great monetary ROI. A garage startup for your own use is another thing. Do some deep research, go get a degree in chemistry and so forth. I do not know where you call home, but I am quite sure Coke, Pepsi, kfc, McDonald's and alike are not going to give you there recipes at all even if you claim you just want to fry your own chicken that tastes like there's.

Agreed, Greg. Take it from someone who has been trying to get the recipe for Costco roast chicken for decades.
