4GENE has developed a technology platform for the glucosylation of small molecules. The glucosides (products) are marketed as FLAVOR-ON-DEMAND to cosmetics and pharmaceutical customers and as SNIFF & SAVE® to industrial customers worldwide.
Examples of the benefits of the 4GENE technology platform:
1 - The molecules of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are, as glucosides, up to 1000 times more soluble in water compared to a non-glycosylated API.
2 - The molecules become chemically inactive through glucosylation, but can be reactivated, i.e. released, by various triggers in e.g. cosmetic products like skin cream. This activation can take place not only once, but several times until the existing depot of glucosides is used up.
3 - Smoky scent serves as an early warning system, which e.g. signals the overheating of Li batteries, machines and cabling systems as olfactoric signals.
Fires can be prevented and investments are saved. Without additional hardware and almost maintenance-free. You can smell the fire before it actually starts to burn.
In addition, 4GENE has developed technologies and registered patents for applications of glucosides, such as a booster for a faster release, an emulsion with non-glucosylable molecules within glucosides and much more ...
