Multifunctional Design | Functional Foods

Health and Wellness

Innovative food and beverage companies seeking to enter or compete in the functional foods driven health and wellness market recognize that they must invest in new research and development capabilities. While R&D departments of traditional food and beverage companies are well equipped to perform taste and sensory testing, shelf life enhancement and manufacturing process research, they are not yet ready to perform the discovery and development functions requisite to functional ingredient development.

Medisyn’s Forward EngineeringTM platform enables multi-functional design and screening of compounds in silico to meet a market product need. Project deliverables include a pipeline of solutions consisting of chemically diverse bioactives that share the same function(s) of market interest. This rapid, comparatively inexpensive approach for generating intellectual property (IP) also reduces the risks typically associated with bioactive discovery methods.

How Medisyn can help you:

Economical outsourcing of safe, bioactive food ingredient discovery to meet market needs.
Eliminate High Throughput Screening costs of sourcing and testing thousands-to-millions of compounds in primary and secondary assays.
Design and screen (profile) compounds simultaneously for safety and primary functional efficacy along with secondary properties.
Low cost and rapid in silico screening of millions of compounds, requiring only 100 or so compounds to be experimentally tested before IP portfolio generated.
Rapid project completion of 18 months or less from initiation to compound licensing.
Broad IP portfolio creation, typically dozens of new bioactive compounds in up to 10 diverse chemical families.
Translation of pharmaceutical research and commercial success into new natural bioactive discovery for food ingredients.
