Market pressure to develop new ingredients that are more natural, traceable and minimally processed is accelerating demand for sustainable botanical extracts with increasingly stable and well-defined aroma and colour profiles. However, conventional extraction methods can degrade volatile compounds, oxidise natural pigments and alter the final sensory profile. These losses directly affect critical attributes such as…
Read moreSustainable production models are increasingly spotlighting an undervalued resource: plant-based by-products. Fruit peels, seeds, leaves, stems and oilseed press cakes generated during juicing, pressing or sorting still retain a significant fraction of bioactive compounds, natural pigments, residual aromas and high-value lipids. Far from being waste, these by-products are a strategic feedstock for developing functional ingredients.On…
Read moreDiagnosis: understanding the impact of the current process Animal-free testing: alternative methods to demonstrate efficacy and safety Optimising critical parameters: temperature, time and oxygen Solvent replacement: moving towards physical or natural methods The shift towards cleaner technologies in cosmetics is not a one-off change, but a gradual process that combines technical review, plant adjustments and…

Read moreThe European pharmaceutical sector is undergoing a profound transformation. Alongside traditional challenges—such as strict regulation or equitable access to treatments—new demands are emerging, driven by sustainability, digitalisation and personalisation. Within this context, the formulation of API pharmaceutical ingredients has become a strategic priority: it must not only ensure safety and efficacy but also align with…
Read moreMicroorganisms play a dual strategic role in the R&D pharmaceutical industry: they act as biological factories for producing medicines and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and they serve as advanced biotechnological tools enabling safer, more sustainable and more efficient production pathways. Through microbial processes, it is possible to obtain antibiotics, vaccines, vitamins, therapeutic enzymes and a…
Read moreThe growing demand for more sustainable and efficient solutions in the pharmaceutical industry has driven the adoption of clean technologies for the production of active ingredients. One of the most advanced and versatile methods is supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), especially using carbon dioxide (CO₂). This technique enables the recovery of API pharmaceuticals with high purity,…
