Bo InnoHealth Biotechnology Company Limited
Bo InnoHealth Biotechnology Company Limited develops a novel microencapsulation technology, with mushroom cells as wall material, to make probiotics microcapsules and artificial spores. Inspired by the use of mushroom cells as furniture and packaging materials in the US as well as NASA's research on potential fungi-based habitats on the Moon and Mars, the technology was developed to protect probiotics against heat and pressure. The microcapsules can survive not only stomach acid, but also high-pressure compression and long-time storage under room temperature. With this micro-encapsulation technology, probiotics can be transported and stored without cold-chain, and can be applied in more application scenarios such as snacks, hot drinks and pet food.
