We are a Swiss biotechnology company developing and implementing cutting-edge solutions in agriculture, waste processing, and pharmaceuticals. Our mission is to create harmony between progress and nature, ensuring sustainable development through innovation and environmental responsibility.
Modern agriculture faces the challenges of protecting crops from pests and diseases, as well as managing chitin-containing waste such as crustacean shells and fungal mycelium. Chemical pesticides harm the environment, and traditional methods of processing chitinous waste are often inefficient and ecologically unfriendly.
Modern animal feed contains antinutritional components such as non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) and phytates, reducing nutrient digestibility and increasing feed viscosity. Existing enzyme additives are often insufficiently thermostable and sensitive to cereal inhibitors, limiting their effectiveness.
Carotenoids are valuable natural compounds with a wide range of biological activities, highly sought after in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and the food industry. However, the production of many carotenoids is limited by complexity and high costs. Deinoxanthin, a unique carotenoid with potent antioxidant and antitumor properties, is not currently produced commercially.
We are developing an innovative microbial synthesis technology for deinoxanthin using the unique ...
