Nutraceutical process validation

The Shannon ABC research team worked closely with Nutramara to optimise the extraction process and played a key role in its transfer to scale up facilities. Since its development, Nutramara and Shannon ABC have continued to work together on optimising the analytical methods for testing, and Shannon ABC is a point of contact for the company during scale-up processes.

Based on the collaboration with Shannon ABC, the Nutramara team was able to bring a nutraceutical product to market in just six months. The fucoidan ingredient was launched in May 2018 at Vitafoods Europe and resulted in over 100 enquiries, with a number being converted into account queries. The flexible access to expertise and facilities at Shannon ABC means that the company can plan its commercial strategy with the confidence of being able to access whatever technical support it requires. Nutramara has continued to work with Shannon ABC through subsequent contract research projects and has recently submitted an Innovation Partnership application.
