Our Research and Innovations on Bananas
Discover our groundbreaking research and innovations that harness the power of the banana plant.
Eco-Extraction at the Heart of Our Expertise
Musactiv Biotech has always been committed to revealing the unsuspected potential of the banana plant. Thanks to a rigorous scientific approach and innovative eco-extraction processes, we transform agricultural co-products into high-performance ingredients for the cosmetic and food industries.
Our expertise is based on a perfect mastery of the different parts of the banana plant (skin, pulp, leaves, stems) in order to extract the best, while maintaining their integrity and effectiveness.
Scientific research at the service of innovation
Our work is based on three main areas:
Characterization of banana active ingredients: We analyze the richness of bioactive compounds present in banana plants, such as polyphenols, phytosterols, omega 3, 6 and 9 and essential minerals, in order to determine their antioxidant, soothing and regenerating properties.
Optimization of eco-extraction processes: Our sustainable approach favors gentle methods, such as eco-extraction using green solvents or the use of energy-efficient mechanical processes, guaranteeing the preservation of active ingredients while limiting our environmental impact.
Validation by scientific studies: Our extracts are subjected to rigorous tests (in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo) to confirm their effectiveness on the skin and in food formulations.
The benefits of banana assets
In cosmetics:
- Natural antioxidant : Protects the skin from premature aging.
- Regenerating and soothing : Promotes healing and calms sensitive skin.
- Intense moisturizer : Improves skin flexibility and elasticity.
In food:
- Natural source of fiber : Contributes to digestive health.
- Rich in potassium and magnesium : Participates in the proper functioning of muscles and nerves.
- Powerful antioxidants : Strengthens the immune system.
Eco-extraction: a sustainable and efficient method
This innovative process makes it possible to extract active molecules while respecting the nature of the plant and minimizing the environmental impact. At SHB, we favor the use of green solvents and gentle techniques to ensure pure and effective extracts.
