Launch of Prenylium, product resulting from the Mulberry Tree roots

18.02.2020

Plant Advanced Technologies announces the commercialization by Clariant of Prenylium, the first asset co-developed under the partnership between the two companies. The new asset incorporates Clariant's Premium Root Power range designed to catalogue the ingredients resulting from the collaboration.

Prenylium is the first product developed through PAT platforms to be derived from a tree. The White Mulberry tree or Morus alba, traditionally exploited in China for the cultivation of silkworms, is well known in the cosmetic industry for its whitening activity.

Prenilyum :

  • protects the matrisome against age-related skin damage and UV exposure ;
  • reduces the visibility of existing wrinkles and smoothes the skin ;
  • has a high biological efficiency.

By discovering a new set of molecules in the roots of this tree, PAT is once again discovering properties that are new to a known plant species.

This discovery demonstrates once again the benefits of searching for highly active compounds at remarkable levels in plants, which is also one of the main objectives of the AgriWasteValue project. While the AgriWasteValue project focuses mainly on residues from apples, pears and vines, other fruit tree residues are also of great interest, as shown by Clariant and Plant Advanced Technologies.
