BRAIN innovations
Healthy food without an off-taste
Based on unique cell-based assay systems, within its SALT-E program BRAIN focusses on the reduction of salt in foods.
Bio-based freshness and product stability
Edible plants provide bioactive compounds that combat harmful organisms. BRAIN’s FRESCO program identifies the best anti-microbial candidates.
Calorie-free natural-based sweeteners
The scope of the DOLCE program is to build a complete partnership for the discovery, development, and production of natural-based sweet solutions – new natural-based sweeteners and sweetness enhancers.
Biological wound management
Aurase® is an enzymatic active ingredient developed by BRAIN for the treatment of open wounds. The active mechanism was inspired by the common green bottle fly.
Sustainable metal extraction in the circular economy
Microorganisms from BRAIN’s BioArchive can extract precious metals from ores and waste streams with low environmental impact.
Natural compounds to trigger taste and skin sensations
In the TRiP2Application programs, BRAIN offers unique cell-based assay systems for the identification of novel ingredients for food & cosmetics. In addition, cell models developed by BRAIN enable the development of biological deodorants and aluminum-free antiperspirants.
100 years of Bauhaus and the Bergstrasse
BRAIN is taking the opportunity of the 2019 Bauhaus anniversary to showcase its architectural heritage. In cooperation with the city of Zwingenberg and the Savings Bank Cultural Foundation of Hesse-Thuringia, the company will be the hub of numerous cultural events come autumn. These will be accompanied by a light projection on the building under the direction of lighting artist Helga Griffiths.
