RESEARCH |
Microcore uses waste accumulated from agro processing industries in India that are free from pesticide, insecticide, and other residues for production of dietary fibers.
Microcore is involved in discovery, screening and developing microbial database of rare microorganisms, and the potential metabolites that can be produced from it. Presently, Microcore Pvt Ltd has a proprietary collection of over500 micro-organisms that includes Streptomyces, Fungi, Actinomycets, Myxomycetes and Bacteria that can be used to produce nutritional and pharmaceutical high value metabolites.
Development of a novel fermentation process for the production of Butyl hydroxyl toluene (Antioxidant), 2,4-Di-Tert-Butyl Phenol (Antioxidant, increasing the storage stability of biodiesel), and Benzoic acid, 4 ethoxy ethyl ether (fruity aroma) from non- lactose fermenting Lactobacilli sp. Patent filing of strain and technology is currently under progress.
Isolation of novel oleaginous fungi for poly unsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) production. Process development and purification of compounds are currently under progress. Patent filing of strain and technology is underway.

PRODUCTS
|
DIETARY fiber
Moisture absorbing, anticaking and non-calorific supplement. Widely applicable on cheese, diet beverages, confectionaries, mayonnaise, powders, frozen foods, various baked foods, extruded foods, pasta, potato products, cereals, fruit bars, spices, beverages, food dressings, health drink formulation, pizza, burger and instant food preparations.

 |
PLANT CATALYST
Contains natural growth promotants, comprising proteins, carbohydrates, enzymes, amino acids, macro and micro nutrients. The product is obtained by the enzymatic conversion of fresh fish protein in to hydrolysate.
We have developed a bio-fertilizer (Plant Catalyst) via fermentation of fish liquid to address stunt growth and improve overall yield of paddy cultivations. Field trials in various locations in south India have been performed and it has been found that Plant Catalyst promotes soil microbial activity, which reduces stunt growth in paddy cultivations. The product has been sold to farmers on trial basis. Facilities to begin large-scale manufacturing are in progress
