With over 30% of food worldwide being wasted every year, research in biotechnology and environmental science has become more important than ever. Here at CD BioSciences, we develop advanced food preservation technologies that mitigate damage to the environment. Our systems focus on preventing microbial decay, enzymatic browning, and oxidative rancidity, all while minimizing the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the food supply chain. Having spent over 15 years in research and development of green chemistry and intelligent logistics, we offer solutions to our clients all over the world to help them meet the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) in an economically sustainable manner within the $1.5 trillion food preservation industry.

Scientific Bases
Natural Antimicrobial Action
- Plankton: Polyphenol interference: pharmacological action that disrupts the quorum sensing of salmonella and E. coli biofilm.
- Bacteriocin Activity: Gram-Positive Pathogenic poisoning by means of super pore formation.
- Essential Nanoemulsion of plant oils: Hydrophobic bacterial membrane penetrable.
Radiation Science
- Hygienisation by radiation gamma dose 2-7 kGy causes 5log- reduction of Listeria monocytogenes
- Nutritional radiation product analysis for safety
Active Packaging
- Iron oxide nanoparticulate oxygen absorbent films
- Antimicrobial compounds with pH switchable releasing biological activity.
