Nestlé and Nuritas to collaborate on discovery of food-derived bioactive peptides
Nestlé and Nuritas have entered into a collaboration aiming at discovering bioactive peptide networks within specific target areas of significant value.
In order to achieve the common goal, Nuritas will deploy its technology platform, which uses Artificial Intelligence and DNA analysis to predict, unlock, and validate highly efficacious peptides from natural food sources. Nestlé will validate the efficacy of these new discoveries within the target applications.
