Collagen is the body's most abundant protein, making up 25-35% of all proteins. It's a vital component of connective tissues in skin, bones, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. Primarily composed of amino acids—30% glycine, 20% proline, and 10% hydroxyproline—collagen's unique triple-helix structure delivers exceptional strength, elasticity, and flexibility. It supports skin, nail, and hair health, boosts bone density, reduces osteoporosis risk, and enhances gut health. Common sources of collagen include meat, bone broth, fish, gelatin, and dairy. However, traditional collagen products often rely on animal or marine sources, using harsh chemical extraction methods that risk contamination, pose health hazards, and contribute to environmental destruction through waste and animal cruelty. This plant-based collagen precursor powder offers a clean, functional, sustainable, eco-friendly alternative (no e number ingredients). The formulation is enriched with amino acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, vital for collagen synthesis and stability, supporting muscle structure, and reducing collagen breakdown. Rigorously tested for functionality and safety, it avoids harmful chemicals and animal exploitation, significantly reducing environmental impact. The technology owner seeks to work with the OEMs of FMCG/CPGs to incorporate the functional blend in varied foods. The innovation is a plant-only collagen precursor that enhances the absorption of immune-boosting compounds and promotes collagen synthesis, as evidenced by in-house cell line analysis. It effectively reduces collagen breakdown while being cost-efficient compared to other market options. Uniquely, it is 100% water-soluble, allowing for easy incorporation into food products without altering taste. This comprehensive formulation provides essential amino acids that support the body’s natural collagen production. Fortified with Vitamin C, which catalyses crucial enzymatic processes for collagen metabolism, it also features a plant extract blend rich in antioxidants, silica, and Vitamin C. Silica stimulates fibroblast proliferation and growth factor release (like TNF-α and TGF-β), aiding collagen synthesis. These blends offer anti-photoaging and anti-inflammatory benefits, enhancing wound healing and supporting collagen production. Some studies suggest that liquid collagen may be absorbed more rapidly into the bloodstream than capsules, making this technology a compelling choice for those seeking optimal collagen support. This collagen Precursor Powder can be used in a variety of products -  Confectionery  Sports Beverages   Protein shakes  Energy drinks Bars/Gummies The collagen market was valued at approximately $4.5 billion and was projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 6-8% over the next several years.

Stomata, tiny pores on the surface of leaves, are opened or closed under the control of a pair of guard cells for gas exchange with the atmosphere. Through these pores, plants uptake the carbon dioxide necessary for photosynthesis and release water by transpiration, which enhances the uptake of nutrients from the roots. Therefore, regulation of stomatal openings is essential for plant growth and survival in response to various environmental conditions.  Improper regulation or dysfunction of stomata can lead to drying out and wilting of vegetables and flowers, resulting in loss of freshness during transportation and hence, wastages. Following a study to improve plants’ drying tolerance and productivity by controlling the opening and closing of plant pores, the research team has identified natural compounds that have the effect of closing the stomata to preserve freshness and successfully developed more potent analogs.  The research team is looking for companies to partner in joint development of applications such as sprays and volatile sheets as freshness retention agents for vegetables and flowers. Freshness preservatives based on analogs of a natural compound found in plants of the order Brassicales Up to 66 times more potent than the natural compound, offering drought resistance to plants Maintains freshness of leafy vegetables and flowers by preventing drying and wilting through the closing the stomata  Application timing is flexible, can be applied whenever drought resistance is needed Suitable for water-based formulations These compounds can be used for the vegetable and flower distribution industry. They could be formulated into various formats to be delivered via direct application, spraying, and volatilisation through packaging materials. By delivering the naturally occurring components of this technology to the leaves and flowers of vegetables and flowering plants, the pores can be closed for an extended period, preventing drying and fading. Unlike existing solutions like abscisic acid derivatives, this compound does not have side effects such as growth inhibition and seed germination suppression. stomata, freshness preservation, drying preservation Chemicals, Agrochemicals, Life Sciences, Agriculture & Aquaculture, Organic, Sustainability, Food Security
