- Standardized Fermentation Process
- Commercialization into Food and Cosmetics
Material Strategy
Connecting the potential of raw ingredients to fermented materials and finished products
Drawing from our company’s functional ingredient development direction, we standardize natural materials such as peanut sprouts and aronia, and trace the flow of expansion into food and cosmetic ingredients through fermentation and bioconversion processes.
We focus on the bioactive compounds generated through plant seed defense mechanisms and germination, converting them into low-molecular-weight natural materials and evaluating both their functionality and product applicability.

R&D Process
A standardized process that enhances ingredient reliability
From sourcing functional crop ingredients to fermentation, validation, and commercialization, each stage is managed systematically — creating a foundation where the ingredient industry and smart farm business can grow together.
Ingredient Standardization
Leveraging smart farm cultivation technology and local ingredient sourcing infrastructure to secure consistent quality and stable production of functional crops.
Fermentation & Bioconversion
Natural material-based fermentation and bioconversion break down specific plant compounds and convert them into low-molecular-weight structural ingredients.
Functional Validation
Analyzing the applicability of ingredients across areas such as antioxidant activity, skin brightening, and anti-wrinkle effects, with validation carried out in consideration of human application.
Ingredient Commercialization
Expanding into food and cosmetic product lines through ICID registration, cosmetic ingredient listing, and prototype formulation development.
Applications
Ingredients that expand from food to functional cosmetics
Materials based on peanut sprouts and aronia are being researched for expansion into general foods, health functional foods, functional cosmetics, and future applied material fields.
General Food
We expand the product line into teas, drinks, and easy intake products using peanut sprout and aronia ingredients.
Health Functional Food
We research product commercialization based on the potential of functional ingredients for antioxidant effects, muscle function, and cardiovascular disease prevention.
Functional Cosmetics
We promote the application of fermented peanut sprout extract as an ingredient for skin hydration, skin barrier strengthening, and wrinkle improvement.
Applied Materials
We apply ingredient development processes to local crops with functional active compounds and expand them into quasi drug products and related fields.
Verification
Ingredient Research Verified Through Certification and Product Commercialization History
The cosmetic ingredient listing, patent application, non irritation test of fermented peanut sprout extract, and patent for the aronia drink composition demonstrate the commercialization flow of Nanum Bio’s ingredient research.
