Deinove announces that it has produced the first industrial batch of its innovative carotenoid

Deinove, a biotech company that discovers, develops and produces high-added-value compounds from rare bacteria, particularly from the Deinococcus genus, announces that it has produced the first industrial batch of its innovative carotenoid. Deinove will carry out the commercial launch of this new cosmetic active at the specialized trade show In - Cosmetics 1, taking place from April 17 to 19, 2018 in Amsterdam.

Pioneering Deinococcus-based bacterial fermentation on an industrial scale

As announced in December, the fermentation production process has been scaled up on SAS Pivert's Biogis Center technology platform. After a technology transfer phase, an initial production run of several cubic meters was successfully completed.
The biomass thus produced then underwent an original, environmentally-friendly extraction, purification and formulation process, developed in collaboration with Processium, enabling a first industrial batch of finished product to be obtained. Deinove chose Veg'extra, an extraction specialist, as its service provider for these downstream processing stages.

Commercial launch imminent

The carotenoid developed has great potential: formulated in an organic vegetable oil, this innovative active is perfectly suited to incorporation into skincare creams and can therefore be used by various cosmetics players. Deinove anticipates a commercial launch of its compound early in the 2 nd quarter of 2018. In the meantime, teams are finalizing additional efficacy tests, including consumer tests, which will validate product claims and support the sales pitch. The company is also working on packaging the ingredient in sample form, adapted to the needs of cosmetics manufacturers.

Emmanuel Petiot , CEO of Deinove, comments: "We are proud to have reached this new milestone for the company. Our teams and partners have achieved a real technological feat in transferring our Deinococcus to industrial scale. It's extremely exciting to see several years of research and development come to fruition in the form of a commercial product. Deinove is starting a new chapter in its young history.
