Melanin is a highly thermostable natural pigment structured in nanoparticles with a wide spectrum of properties including resistance to UV, protection against radiation, electromagnetic shielding, heavy metal capture and harbouring antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.
Algentech has unlocked the potential of melanin by achieving a technological breakthrough to produce high melanin yield in plants, providing a sustainable and natural alternative to the chemically synthesised form.
Melanin multisectorial applications include hair dyes, anti-UV creams, water purification, thermoregulation textile and many more.
