Keracol is a highly innovative small company developing natural chemical technologies. This project is acollaborative feasibility study with The University of Porto (UoP) to develop international cooperationand initiate novel approaches to produce more stable and oil-soluble natural colorants for food andcosmetic applications. Keracol extracts natural pigments from food waste (berry skins), we aim to use theexpertise of UoP to develop new methods for step-change applications. This is a challenging project due tothe complex chemistry of natural colorants. More stable anthocyanins able to be incorporated into oil-based media are needed and novel methods developed by UoP could prove the most effective strategy toachieve this. Food and cosmetic colorants are multi-billion dollar industries, and applications representsignificant value. Few researchers are working on this type of chemistry globally, and an opportunity todevelop this area with UoP would be step-changing for Keracol.

Keracol是一家开发天然化学技术的高度创新的小公司。该项目是与波尔图大学(UOP)合作的可行性研究，旨在发展国际合作，并启动新的方法，生产更稳定和油溶的天然着色剂，用于食品和化妆品应用。Keracol从食物垃圾(浆果皮)中提取天然色素，我们的目标是利用UOP的专业知识开发新的变步应用方法。由于天然着色剂的复杂化学成分，这是一个具有挑战性的项目。需要更稳定的花青素能够被结合到油基介质中，而UOP开发的新方法可能被证明是实现这一目标的最有效的策略。食品和化妆品着色剂是价值数十亿美元的行业，其应用具有重要价值。很少有研究人员在全球范围内研究这种类型的化学，而与UOP合作开发这一领域的机会对Keracol来说将是一大改变。
