Sulfur-oxidation enzyme technology for halitosis control

Technology
Conceptual
Company

Innovative Sox enzyme cocktail platform biochemically degrades volatile sulfur compounds, offering a microbiome-friendly solution for long-lasting breath control without masking odors or using harsh chemicals.

Overview

The sulfur-oxidation enzyme technology offers a groundbreaking approach to controlling halitosis by biochemically degrading volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) such as hydrogen sulfide into non-volatile sulfate. Unlike traditional methods that mask odors or eliminate bacteria indiscriminately, this technology transforms malodorous molecules directly, providing a microbiome-friendly solution. It is suitable for non-rinse formats like mucoadhesive gels, oral films, and denture systems, enabling extended residence and multi-hour odour control.

Technical specifications

Key features:

  • Recombinant Sox enzyme cocktail: Catalytically converts VSCs into odourless sulfate.
  • Non-probiotic, non-alcohol, non-antibiotic: Compatible with a range of non-rinse formats.
  • Microbiome-friendly: Maintains the natural oral flora while controlling bad breath.
  • Extended contact formats: Designed for mucoadhesive gels, oral films, and denture inserts.
  • Stability and activity: Stabilization systems support enzyme activity and shelf stability.
Technology readiness level

The technology is currently at TRL 3, indicating active research and development with validation in laboratory settings. Future plans include optimizing enzyme cocktails, validating performance in biofilm systems, and conducting pilot human studies, with regulated pilot product estimated in 24-30 months.
