Bio-based freshness and product stability

Edible plants provide bioactive compounds that combat harmful organisms. BRAIN’s FRESCO program identifies the best candidates.

Foodstuffs are subject to stringent freshness and quality criteria. Other market segments are just as sensitive in terms of hygiene and cleanliness. Innumerable products have to be protected from infestation by bacteria, viruses or fungi. Consumers are increasingly expecting this to be achieved by means of natural and sustainably produced active ingredients.

BRAIN develops the corresponding bioactive substances that can also be used for medical products as well as for paints and preservatives, cleaning and other household products, apart from their uses in the food and feed industries.
