With the goal of discovering effective bioactive ingredients suitable for food use, Kraft Foods, Northfield, IL, and Medisyn Technologies, Inc., Minneapolis, MN, have entered a research and licensing collaboration. The work, which began in December 2008, utilizes Medisyn’s Forward Engineering technology platform to identify, analyze and optimize promising bioactive compounds. This technology accurately predicts how a compound will behave based on its structure, streamlining the discovery and development process of food ingredients that can be used to provide healthier choices for consumers. The collaboration covers bioactive discovery with development and commercialization milestones, as well as post-commercialization payments.
