Bioseutica® goes circular! Opportunities for West III program grant
Bioseutica® is leading a project to develop a novel lysozyme product (bioactive protein) for the feed industry through the extraction of lysozyme from a residual feed stream. This Technical Lysozyme will be produced within a circular stream of valuable protein sources for the feed industry. The initiative receives financial support from the European Union through the EFRO program Opportunities for West III. This program focuses on the transition to a fully circular and climate-neutral economy, with an important milestone at the end of the program period in 2030.
Pipeline
Bioseutica® is in the advanced R&D development of amcipatricin by inhalation to treat and prevent severe fungal infections in cystic fibrosis or immunocompromised patients (patent pending). Bioseutica® is looking for development and commercial partners.
Fungal diseases are a public health issue: opportunistic infections (e.g., cryptococcosis and aspergillosis), hospital-associated infections (e.g., candidemia), and community-acquired infections pose a critical threat to public health1. Globally, over 300 million people are afflicted with a severe fungal infection, and 25 million are at high risk of dying or losing their sight2. AMCIPATRICIN diascorbate (code SPK-843) is a new semi-synthetic, water-soluble polyene antibiotic with potent broad-spectrum antifungal activity, particularly against Candida spp., Cryptococcus sp., and Aspergillus spp.
100 years of Lysozyme

TRYPSIN
TRYPSIN is highly valued as a workhorse protease across a range of industries due to its potent digestion of proteins.
Lysozyme
Lysozyme, one of the most powerful natural antibacterial and antiviral compounds known to man, has been used in foods and pharmaceuticals for over three decades as it naturally inhibits the growth of many spoilage organisms, increases a healthy shelf life and ensures food safety. It also boosts the immunity system.
AVIDIN
AVIDIN is a glycoprotein extracted from egg white using ion-exchange or affinity chromatography. Its biological importance was discovered in 1926 when rats were fed egg white and developed dermatitis, loss of hair and disruption of muscular co-ordination.
OVOTRANSFERRIN
OVOTRANSFERRIN also called Conalbumin, is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 76,000. OVOTRANSFERRIN comprises approximately 13% of the protein content of egg albumen. More than sixty years ago, researchers determined
NA2R®
NA2R® is a clinically proven natural ingredient for the novel food/nootropics industry. Its daily consumption leads to increased brain serotonin levels, exerting physiologically beneficial effects on brain functions like the mood that, in turn, could promote the feeling of well-being, particularly during stressful times, as well as help emotional and cognitive functions.
AQUATRYP™
AQUATRYP™ is our ready-to-use gentle enzymatic cell detachment reagent. A non-mammalian, non-microbial enzyme mixture, AQUATRYP™ can be readily incorporated into most routine cell culture protocols.
OVALBUMIN
OVALBUMIN one of the most extensively characterised and best-understood antigens, contributing to our understanding of the structure-function relationship of antigen-antibody interactions.

EFSA Bioseutica's lysozyme opinion
EFSA : Lysozyme does not give rise to safety concerns
The food enzyme lysozyme (peptidoglycanN-acetylmuramoylhydrolase; EC 3.2.1.17) is produced from hens eggs by Bioseutica® B.V. It is intended to be used in brewing processes, milk processing for cheese production as well as wine production. The dietary exposure to the food enzyme–total organic solids (TOS) was estimated to be up to 4.9 mg TOS/kg body weight per day.
Looking for a lactoferrin substitute? Try Ovotransferrin
Enhancing Protein Product Quality: Ovotransferrin as a Superior Substitute for Lactoferrin
To improve your protein products' processing quality and biological activities? Try using Ovotransferrin as a lactoferrin substitute. Ovotransferrin (OVT) is a protein that has a high similarity to Bovine lactoferrin (BLF) and human lactoferrin (HLF) and may be used as a substitute for lactoferrin (LF) due to its limited production.
