Identify and understand active compounds

Proteins and enzymes in natural products have bioactive and functional properties, such as peptides, structural proteins like collagen or catalytic enzymes that can be exploited for higher valued applications beyond essential nutrition.

We can help discover and characterise these proteins and enzymes in your natural product so you can gain the most value from it.

Our expertise includes the development of purification strategies grom bench to large scale, analytical methods for proteins and glycoconjugates and characterisation of the purified end-product for its functions and bioactivities.

Uncover the microorganisms present in your natural resource with microbial characterisation. Discover the microbes naturally occurring in your product, detect contaminants or support fermentation development.

Characterise complex natural resources to elucidate what makes it unique. From omega3s and phospholipids to sterols and squalene. Leverage our lipidomic tools to quantify lipids across natural health, food and cosmetic products.
