Smart Carotenoid ™

Next-Generation Carotenoids Produced by Fermentation

Brand

What is Smart Carotenoid™?

A fermentation-derived carotenoid produced using smart cell technology.
Made without using plants, it is a next-generation functional pigment produced through a sustainable bioprocess.

Only the desired active ingredient is selectively produced.
Rather than a mixture of carotenoids, we deliver the high-purity target compound itself.

*Smart Cell Technology

A technology that harnesses cellular functions, including those of microorganisms, to efficiently produce target compounds.

*Carotenoids

Functional pigments, such as lycopene, β-carotene and astaxanthin, known for their strong antioxidant properties

Sustainability

A sustainable bioprocess

Only the targeted active ingredient is selectively produced.
Rather than a mixture of carotenoids,
we deliver the high-purity target compound itself.

Smart Carotenoid™ is
produced by microbial fermentation.

Less dependent on agricultural crops and natural resources, it avoids competing with food supplies.

Produced without farmland and with a lower environmental footprint than conventional agricultural production.

Cultivation-based production enables a stable supply with reduced dependence on weather conditions.

A next-generation sustainable material that combines consistent quality with a stable supply.
