French specialist bio-based ingredients company Solactis Group has opened its new R&D centre on the Inra campus in Jouy-en-Josas, near Paris, France.
The new R&D center of SOLACTIS Group has a triple mission to understand the effect of new bio-based ingredients on the intestinal microbiota using state-of-the-art technologies in genomics, to work on the behaviour of the new bio-based ingredients in food matrices and to be also active in the field of animal feed.
Pascal Ronfard president of Solactis Group said: “The implementation of our new R&D centre is a major step in the development of Solactis Group. After two years in the laboratory of life sciences at Agoranov, we needed a new R&D framework able to accommodate our new ambitions.”
Géraldine Bastien head of R&D added: “On the Saclay plateau, close to major academic and R&D centres in the field of food and nutrition, we place Solactis Group in a highly challenging environment. We want our research to advance “gut health” applications in food and feed products, and promote their best use by the industry.”
At the intersection of agronomic and biomedical sciences, the Inra Research Centre of Jouy-en-Josas develops research on animals, food and bacteria. It features among others microbiology skills mobilised for major animal and human health issues, with a particular interest in “health-food” relationship.
