<p>The first Biophrame technologies’ innovation is the “Non-Chemical chitosan production process”. Chitosan is a natural fiber product derived from chitin (a natural component widely distributed in nature) with multiple applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, water treatment, textile finishing, food, cosmetics, pulp and paper, photography and tissue engineering.</p> | <p>The first Biophrame technologies’ innovation is the “Non-Chemical chitosan production process”.

+ | <p>The product we market is the result of a biological process that we designed using a genetically modified organism, which is productive, cost effective and waste reductive. In our process we use, as raw material, Shrimp shell (which is considered as an industrial waste of the Shrimp mexican industry) to generate a valuable product called Chitosan from the chitin found in this material. This process is achieved using different fermentations with bacteria; where, the behavior of these bacteria is controlled by induced temperature changes, guaranteeing no chemical use in the process.</p> | ||
<p>We are strategically located in Guadalajara, the second most populated city in Mexico and responsible for 7% of national gross domestic product. Our goal in the long term is to fulfill the Mexican demand of medium and high purity Chitosan and to become the first Mexican exporter of high purity Chitosan. We want to create dream jobs for young Mexican engineers and export our biotechnology worldwide.</p> | <p>We are strategically located in Guadalajara, the second most populated city in Mexico and responsible for 7% of national gross domestic product.
