Background

The Extract Library was set-up to provide a bridge between the huge biodiversity in plant compounds in Dutch horticultural crops and applications of those crops in high-value non-traditional markets

slide-3
SLIDE 3

Market

Diverse market segments with a common need for novel products

Agro(chemicals) Pharmaceuticals Feed additives Cosmetics & toiletry Food supplements Fine chemicals Herbal medicines Natural colours, flavours and fragrances

slide-4
SLIDE 4

Market need

  • Biodiversity plant compounds
  • Information on cultivars and plant material

– Taxonomy, known compounds, (traditional) use, edibility, toxicity etc.

  • Reproducible supply
  • Cultivation without chemicals
  • Compliance with regulatory requirements

Crops

  • Huge diversity in plant types
  • Families:

205

  • Genera:

927 See list

  • Species:

1,300

  • Huge diversity in plant compounds
  • Estimate:

100,000 – 200,000

  • Can be grown in The Netherlands (or elsewhere)
  • Controlled and reproducible cultivation
  • Reproducible composition and amount of plant compounds
  • No chemical crop protection products used
  • No false positives
