Why do need plant-based antimicrobials?
Antimicrobial products are necessary to mitigate undesired microbial growth in food, household and industrial settings. However, safer formulations are needed. We are exploring plants contain natural antimicrobial products to turn them into safe formulations.
In collaboration with Nature Recombined Sciences and the Sorensen Lab, we are exploring the antimicrobial properties of plants to develop safe antimicrobials for the food industry and to improve bee health
Our approach
Our approach is based on a non-toxic extraction procedure while ensuring the antimicrobial activity is preserved.
