Screening & Selection
A screening system for the discovery of new natural anti-microbial agents is our unique tool to select anti-microbial activities in various crude materials. In the laboratories of IMEnz different anti-microbial activities originating from plant, animal or algae were already discovered and characterized. Various products were found with either broad specificities or with very specific activity against selected pathogens. At IMEnz few of these newly discovered agents were characterized in detail and tested in natural preservation of food, skin microbiome balance, or oral care applications.
Feed/Food Preservation
Skin Microbiome Protection
From our plant based derivatives new anti-microbials were developed that inhibits Staphylococcus aureus, a typical pathogenic skin microorganism. This opens many possibilities to safely apply this in various skin care cosmetics. More specific information is available on request.
Oral Care Applications
From IMEnz’ recent research on anti-microbials resulted in the discovery of a specific algae extract that was found to be very effective in the de-activation of oral pathogens, such as Porphyromonas gingivalis. This microorganism is related to chronic periodontitis and recently it was published that protein of this microorganism was found in brain cells of patients that suffered from Alzheimer disease. The extract is fully natural and free from synthetic additives. Obviously, it has valuable application potentials. This technology is open for licensing: please contact us.

Oral Care Applications
From IMEnz’ recent research and anti-microbial the discovery of a derivative from hydrolysed protein from a specific algae species was found to be very effective in the de-activation of specific oral pathogens, e.g. Porphyromonas gingivalis. This micro-organism is associated with chronic periodontitis and with Alzheimer disease. The product is derived from nature, is free from synthetic additives and has valuable application potentials.
