Seed Vitalisation Technology |
The following outlines information relevant to the development
pipeline for our
Seed Vitalisation Technology. For a more general overview of the
technology and its applications, please

We are not only able to produce novel products but can also utilise our technology to improve upon many of the grain, legume and nut products already currently on the market (in that they can now be produced to be fully alive, active and, thus, far more superior in both their natural nutritional content and their natural flavours). The products capable of being produced include those such as snack bars, health bars, dips, spreads, breads and even straight raw seed products (including nuts, grains, legumes and so on) that are completely edible and either sold by the kilogram or in pre-packaged portions (just like current roasted nuts, potato chips and other similar products). Furthermore, many other current products will also be able to be enhanced in respect to their processing methods and/or flavour. For example, coffee beans will be able to be processed using our technology so as to enhance their flavour and without any or as much roasting. Another example is that of chocolate in that by using our processing method for cocoa beans they will no longer need to be fermented for a week or more to bring out their flavours. Shelf Life Of ProductsWe have found that straight raw products tend to remain fresh for around 3 to 4 days without refrigeration or being packaged. However, our initial studies have shown that these same raw products will last around 10 to 14 days when packaged and around 20 to 30 days when packaged and refrigerated. As such, some further studies will eventually be conducted to find a suitable shelf life extension method for these products. This will be especially useful once very large scale distributions are established – especially in relation to that of large supermarket chains, as they prefer a 14 day shelf life at the very least and, generally speaking, for all intended purposes the longer a shelf life that we can establish the better. It is thus far hypothesised that the same or similar type of modified atmospheric packaging methods already used with many packaged foods and food storage facilities will readily cater for the necessary requirements of extending the shelf life of our end products. Products such as the snack bars and health bars should naturally last longer due to them being encased in a emulsion – thus, they won't be able to oxidise as rapidly and should therefore naturally stay fresh for much longer. Products such as the dips, spreads and breads should be able to last just as long as other similar products currently on the market simply by way of being produced in the same manner as such current products. Therapeutic ApplicationsDue to the ease of digestion of our products, it is believed that our vitalised seed products will also serve to help with various digestion related illnesses and general bodily dysfunction. As such, it is envisaged that our products will have major therapeutic benefits in relation to various gastrointestinal/nutritional conditions. The types of conditions we believe our products will help include those such as: Gastrointestinal Tuberculosis; HIV related malabsorption; Cystic Fibrosis; Pancreatitis; Pancreatic Cancer (and other types of cancers); Crohn's Disease; Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS); Diverticular Disease; and Dyspepsia. It is envisaged that the eventual successful outcomes of clinical trials will help allow us to effectively market at many of our products to hospitals, nursing homes and so on. Intellectual Property ProtectionAt present no patents or provisional applications have been filed. However, all patent protectable intellectual property is owned solely by BC Biogenics Pty Ltd. Furthermore, we have conducted extensive research in the quest to develop what we have established and in this process we have not been able to find any patents or publications that give definitive details to the same extent or matching of what we have established. Overview Of The OpportunityInitially and most predominantly we are seeking to source the funding to file patents in target countries around the world (such as Australia, USA, UK, Europe, India, Japan, China and so on). Then we will be seeking the funds to be able to seek out, negotiate and secure licensing contracts with various companies based on geographical locations around the world and the ability of each company to be able to adequately manufacture and market any or all relevant food products. Where required and/or where approached by investors looking to do so we will set up our own manufacturing and distribution. We are also seeking to identify and develop at some stage in the near future a viable shelf life extension method for the straight raw products. This will either be funded by investors or by income generated by royalties and other operating activities. Other possible processing methods that might be able to be developed and included to produce various other end products will also be explored at various stages. The inclusion of these methods and processes may also be of great assistance in developing a more extensive and profitable intellectual property and patenting strategy. Approximated CostsPrimary: Patent and general IP strategy development: $20-30,000 National & international filing of primary platform patents: $2,500,000 Secondary: Further strategy development and implementation: $40-60,000 Implementation of initial licensing and/or joint venture strategies: $150,000 Later Stages: Shelf life extension research and development: $50-100,000 Development of additional product range (dips, breads, etc): $80-120,000 We are also open to industry partners and others who would like to establish full scale operations in various geographical locations. Furthermore, we are also open to industry partners and others who would like to conduct the clinical trials discussed and therefore generate a return from the markets this will help to serve. Further Discussion & NegotiationWe are actively seeking industry partners and others to help us file patents and to develop and implement a licensing plan for this Platform Enabling Technology. We are also open to discussion with industry partners and others to help us further develop and commercialise the various applications for this technology. If you would be interested in exploring a potential arrangement with us and this project, documentation outlining the technological intellectual property in question can be provided upon the signing of a confidentiality agreement. Product samples can also be provided upon request. If you would like to discuss a partnering or other opportunity with us please feel free to contact us.
