KEY BIOLOGICAL
AINIA also collaborates with startups. This is the case of the company Key Biological, which has developed an ingredient called PeroxiBiokey®, consisting of a mixture of oils subjected to an ozonisation process, resulting in a product with interesting properties for use in cosmetics or healthcare products. However, the ozonisation process gives the oil a characteristic odour that the company wanted to mask. AINIA developed a tailored microencapsulation process for the company, making it possible to obtain a product that retains the beneficial properties of the original oil, in a non-agglomerated powder format and with no odour.
Capabilities and infrastructure
- Preclinical, microbiology, and physicochemical laboratories
- Pilot plants (encapsulation, supercritical CO₂ extraction)
- Consumer testing rooms
- Neuroscience platforms
