Aliophen-XP is a highly concentrated polyphenolic composition derived from Aliophen®, a patented formulation based on malt and hops (Patent No. 102017000096298). Developed to enhance the original formulation, Aliophen-XP is produced through a specialized process that removes components potentially interfering with the biological activity of the bioactive compounds naturally extracted from malt and hops.

Method for extracting, with high yield, phycobiliproteins from cyanobacterial and/or algal biomass, obtaining aqueous extracts characterized by high concentration of pigments (4-5 mg/mL)  and a purity, at least equal to food/cosmetic grade (P≥2).

The proposed technology is about the development of an innovative sunscreen obtained from cod fish bones, according to the principles of the circular economy. The sunscreen is a reddish powder, which is constituted of hydroxyapatite (a calcium phosphate main component of human bones) modified with iron. It is prepared with a simple and easily scalable process (treatment of the bones in Fe solution and successively at T = 700 oC) and could be adapted for bones of other fishes.
