Le chitosan fongique, un ingr\u00e9dient polyvalent<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Le chitosan est un biopolym\u00e8re aux <\/span>propri\u00e9t\u00e9s filmog\u00e8nes et antimicrobiennes<\/span><\/b>. Il est utilis\u00e9 dans des secteurs tr\u00e8s vari\u00e9s, de la clarification des vins aux compl\u00e9ments nutritionnels. En cosm\u00e9tique, il se distingue par sa capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 former un film protecteur \u00e0 la surface de la peau ou des cheveux, ce qui en fait un ingr\u00e9dient pris\u00e9 dans les soins capillaires ou les cr\u00e8mes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00ab\u202fLes fabricants de cosm\u00e9tiques doivent r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 <\/span>des exigences de plus en plus strictes<\/span><\/b> en mati\u00e8re de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 et de durabilit\u00e9\u202f\u00bb, explique Benjamin Buysens, Product Development Manager chez KitoZyme. \u00ab\u202fEn raison de l’attention accrue port\u00e9e aux allergies et \u00e0 la popularit\u00e9 croissante des produits v\u00e9ganes, l\u2019utilisation de chitosan d\u2019origine animale, issu de crustac\u00e9s, devient moins acceptable pour de nombreux consommateurs.\u00bb<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Innovation dans l\u2019extraction du chitosan fongique<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

KitoZyme produit depuis ses d\u00e9buts un <\/span>chitosan extrait de champignons<\/span><\/b>, en alternative aux sources animales. \u00ab<\/span>\u202f<\/span>Il y a deux ans, nous avons repens\u00e9 notre proc\u00e9d\u00e9 de production pour mieux r\u00e9pondre aux attentes du march\u00e9 et renforcer notre engagement environnemental. C\u2019est de l\u00e0 qu\u2019est n\u00e9 le projet P\u00b3<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00bb, explique Benjamin Buysens.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00ab Le nouveau proc\u00e9d\u00e9 int\u00e8gre des <\/span>technologies innovantes et des m\u00e9thodes physiques<\/span><\/b> qui nous permettent de r\u00e9duire l\u2019usage de r\u00e9actifs chimiques ainsi que la consommation d\u2019eau et d\u2019\u00e9nergie. Il repose sur des biomasses fongiques renouvelables, et remplace les proc\u00e9d\u00e9s conventionnels par des approches plus durables.\u202fCela nous permet de r\u00e9duire l’empreinte \u00e9cologique <\/b>du processus de production.\u00bb<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Positionnement et cr\u00e9ation d\u2019emplois<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00ab\u202fNous sommes \u00e0 pr\u00e9sent dans la phase de validation en laboratoire\u202f\u00bb, explique Benjamin en \u00e9voquant le calendrier du projet. \u00ab\u202fNous esp\u00e9rons \u00eatre <\/span>sur le march\u00e9 d’ici 2030<\/span><\/b>. Avec notre innovation P\u00b3, nous voulons inscrire durablement KitoZyme sur la carte de la biotechnologie, cr\u00e9er de nouveaux emplois en Wallonie et avoir un impact dans de nombreux secteurs \u2013 pas seulement dans la cosm\u00e9tique. \u00bb<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
