FAQ on custom ingredient development:

Every project is different, but as a benchmark, we achieve a de novo proof of concept in 12 to 18 months. Thanks to our bioinformatics and integrated approach, we cut this timeline in half compared to development carried out solely through a "wetlab" approach.

Yes. This approval allows you to benefit from billing up to 30% lower thanks to the CIR.

We work up to a 3-liter fermenter. This scale corresponds to laboratory proof of concept, through to obtaining a representative sample of your future ingredient.

It depends on the nature of your project, its complexity, and the steps required to reach your goals. Every engagement is custom-built: contact us for an estimate tailored to your specifications.

We support you through the scale-up of your project, from pilot-scale production to industrialization. Our expertise in process engineering and technology transfer ensures a smooth, successful transition to commercial production. It is also possible to run the pilot directly at your own facilities, if available.

Nature is an inexhaustible source of ingredients with remarkable properties. At BGene, we go further by exploring their hidden potential through our expertise in bioinformatics and biotechnology. We decode production mechanisms at the molecular level to optimize existing ingredients and create new ones, opening up a world of possibilities for your products. We also decipher the complex mechanisms of biosynthesis to design entirely new metabolic pathways.

Notably through DEZYME, our innovation engine. This proprietary bioinformatics technology allows us to study enzyme structures in depth, key players in the synthesis of natural ingredients. By understanding how they work, we can:

Optimize their yield: produce more ingredients from the same natural resources, for greater efficiency and a reduced environmental footprint

Modify their action: create ingredients with novel properties, while preserving their natural character, to meet your specific needs
