Plants and marine fauna provide the raw materials from which a range of biological materials and biologically active compounds can be obtained. Derived from natural products, these new biomaterials have diverse and exciting food and non-food applications.

We're discovering new properties in a range of natural biological resources. This exploratory research will lead to new ingredients and products, and new opportunities for investors, producers and manufacturers.
