The Ingredient Development process
For the more “intense” and creative cases, the project flows something like the following:
NNB’s clients tell them what new ingredients they want to develop and what their plan is for the new ingredients.
1. NNB’s scientists perform the initial research on the ingredient to figure out whether it is feasible from the standpoint of technology and production. They also determine what kind of technology will be best to develop the ingredient (ie. synthetic, enzymatic, fermented, or extracted?)
2. NNB’s R&D center then carries out experiments to develop and procure the appropriate lab technology, and prepares samples at a lab-scale (normally this means several grams to hundreds of grams).
3. The R&D center then develops the production process, and carries out a pilot production run in the lab (normally this is kilograms in scale).
4. After that, they transfer the technology and the production process to their factory for bulk production.
5. Based on the ingredient and the agreed-upon strategy, NNB can begin clinical studies, safety studies, and certification, regulatory work, branding work, intellectual property work, and other bureaucratic necessities.
6. This process of course adjusts depending on the opportunity but is a blueprint for what often happens. Contracts will be signed regarding any IP ownership and sales/marketing strategies.
