Bio-based Kojic Acid

Kojic acid is a naturally occurring chelating agent and antioxidant, primarily used in cosmeceuticals for skin lightening, hyperpigmentation treatment, and as a preservative in food and pharmaceuticals. Traditionally, it is obtained as a byproduct of fungal...

Renewable Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF)

Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a versatile bio-based platform chemical derived from sugars, acting as a critical intermediate for the production of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), biofuels, solvents, resins, and biodegradable plastics. Often referred to as a...

Bio-based N-Acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc)

N-Acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) is an amino sugar derivative of glucose, naturally found in the exoskeletons of crustaceans, fungal cell walls, and human cartilage. It serves as a key building block in glycoproteins, hyaluronic acid, and chitin, with increasing demand in...

Renewable Glucosamine

Glucosamine is a naturally occurring amino sugar widely used as a dietary supplement for joint health, and as a building block in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and biopolymers. Conventionally sourced from shellfish exoskeletons (shrimp/crab) through chemical hydrolysis...

Bio-based L-Lysine

L-Lysine is an essential amino acid used extensively as a feed additive, nutritional supplement, and precursor in bioplastics, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. As it cannot be synthesized by animals, L-lysine must be supplemented — particularly in monogastric livestock...

Renewable Propionic Acid

Propionic acid (CH₃CH₂COOH) is a short-chain carboxylic acid widely used as a preservative (E280), herbicide intermediate, and chemical building block in plastics, pharmaceuticals, and cellulose-based coatings. Traditionally produced from petrochemical routes...
