Strategic co-development: custom biomimetic NADES formulations for agrifood, cosmetics & disinfection
Overview: Imita Natura offers exclusive co-development partnerships to design highly customized, 100% biodegradable Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) for diverse applications. While industries struggle with toxic solvents and regulatory bans, our NADES technology provides a "clean label" green chemistry alternative. By mimicking how plants survive extreme conditions, we create tunable liquid mixtures from simple natural molecules that dissolve, stabilize, and exponentially boost the bioavailability of active ingredients. While our current MVP targets crop protection, this adaptable framework is directly applicable to cosmetics, biostimulants, extraction processes, animal health, and general disinfection.
Methodology, Metrics & Validation Plans: Our methodology combines deep chemical expertise with artificial intelligence. Our lab-validated eutectic formulations have demonstrated extraordinary synergistic power, achieving 100% inhibition of Botrytis cinerea using just 1% active eutectic matter, and establishing Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC) as low as 0.4% against tough agricultural pathogens. By utilizing an AI-driven prediction framework, we aim to accelerate formulation design, screening infinite combinations of natural molecules to reduce R&D cycles from months to mere weeks.
Next Steps: We seek forward-thinking partners across agrifood, cosmetics, green tech, and disinfection to launch exclusive co-development projects. We will begin by defining your specific challenge (e.g., stabilizing a cosmetic active or replacing a banned solvent). Next, we will deploy our rapid screening to design a tailored NADES solution, validate its efficacy, and execute pilot testing directly in your commercial manufacturing environment to ensure zero-friction scalability.
About Imita Natura
Imita Natura develops Natural Eutectic Solvent (NADES) technology designed for the agri-food industry, specifically focusing on post-harvest protection and conservation. By mimicking biological processes, the company creates stable, 100% biodegradable, and food-grade liquids that stabilize natural active ingredients without the need for synthetic chemicals. This bio-inspired engineering approach utilizes plant-derived ingredients and AI-driven molecular synthesis to produce multifunctional solutions that act as direct treatments or additives, effectively inhibiting pathogens and extending the shelf life of agricultural produce.
This technology is critical for agricultural producers aiming to transition toward residue-free operations and meet sustainability goals. The company has validated its formulations through certified laboratory testing and is currently implementing industrial pilots at horticultural facilities. By providing a safe, natural alternative to traditional chemical treatments, Imita Natura helps partners address key challenges in food waste reduction and post-harvest management. The firm, based in Burjassot, Spain, collaborates with research institutions and innovation hubs to scale its solutions from laboratory research to commercial application.
