Study of health potential and safety using omics technologies

Multi-omics assessment of the health benefits and safety of functional ingredients

Market need

The development and commercialisation of ingredients for sectors such as functional foods, cosmetics, nutraceuticals and supplements increasingly require a clear, objective and scientifically substantiated determination of their health benefits. It is no longer sufficient to observe a functional outcome; the market demands an understanding of the health benefit exerted by an ingredient, the biological mechanisms through which it acts and the safety parameters with which it is associated, as a basis for generating trust and value. In this context, traditional approaches, based on the assessment of isolated parameters, have limitations when it comes to explaining complex and multifactorial effects. In response to this, advanced approaches make it possible to address the biological complexity inherent in processes such as metabolic and inflammatory modulation, oxidative stress or the microbiota, facilitating a mechanistic interpretation of the health benefit. This capability is key to generating robust scientific evidence, guiding strategic R&D decisions and supporting the development and positioning of ingredients with a well-defined biological basis.

Our solution

LC-MS/MS for in-depth analysis of metabolic and protein profiles.
LC-MS/MSNext-generation sequencing (NGS) to study gene expression, microbiota and other levels of biological regulation.

Highly specialised team with extensive experience in experimental design, bioinformatics analysis and integration of multi-layer omics data.
Integration and analysis of large volumes of data to transform complex information into relevant biological knowledge.
Identification of pathways, biomarkers and mechanisms of action associated with each ingredient.
Generation of robust, mechanistically grounded scientific evidence applicable to the development, validation and positioning of ingredients across different sectors.

Applications

Impact and benefits

Generation of robust scientific evidence to support the health benefits and safety of ingredients
Better biological understanding of the ingredient through the identification of mechanisms of action and biomarkers
Strategic support for R&D decisions, accelerating development and optimising ingredient selection
Strengthening the scientific positioning and differentiation of ingredients in the market and among customers and prescribers

Scientific evidence

The application of studies based on omics technologies makes it possible to investigate the health benefits and assess the safety of ingredients in greater depth from a comprehensive biological perspective. This approach facilitates the understanding of the mechanisms of action involved, the identification of relevant biomarkers and the generation of robust scientific evidence that supports development, validation and positioning decisions.

The ability to translate complex biological data into clear conclusions makes this approach a tool of high strategic value for progressing with greater confidence in competitive and regulated environments.
