Liquid extract
A liquid material derived from cultivated watermelon through our bioconversion process. Its composition and analytical profile guide ingredient evaluation, formulation work and biological research.
Outputs & Applications
Watermelon-derived ingredients for the products you want to develop.
Explore our liquid extract and fibre fraction, with development opportunities across cosmetics, nutraceuticals, food and medical research.
What we produce
Liquid extract. Plant fibre. Ingredients with purpose.
Whole-watermelon bioconversion produces a liquid extract and a fibre-rich solid fraction. We develop these materials as starting points for partner-led ingredient and product development.
Fibre fraction
The recovered fibre-rich solid material provides a second development stream. Potential uses include food ingredient and biomaterial research, with composition and functional properties to be assessed for each use.
Where the outputs could be used
Four application areas.
Cosmetics are a current evaluation focus. Nutraceutical, food and medical research applications form the wider development opportunity.
Skincare and topical formulations
Evaluate the liquid extract as an ingredient for creams, serums and other topical formulations. Development work can examine formulation compatibility, stability, skin tolerance and performance.
For: Cosmetic formulators, skincare brands and ingredient developers.
Nutritional ingredient development
Explore whether the extract or further-developed fractions could support supplement and nutritional formulations. Priorities include composition, suitable delivery format, oral safety, stability and evidence for any proposed benefit.
For: Supplement developers and nutrition research teams.
Food ingredients and fibre applications
Investigate the extract and fibre fraction as candidate ingredients for food and beverage development. The next questions include taste, texture, microbiological quality, processing compatibility and shelf life.
For: Food manufacturers, beverage developers and food scientists.
Hydrogels, topical delivery and skin-repair research
Investigate the materials in hydrogel, topical-delivery and skin-repair research programmes. These are research directions requiring biological testing and application-specific development.
For: Biomaterials researchers, university laboratories and medical development partners.
These are ingredient development and research pathways. Suitability, safety and performance must be established for each intended use; food, supplement and medical applications are not presented as approved finished products.
Start with the material and the intended use.
Tell us which output interests you, your target product and the performance you need. Together we can define material requirements, a testing plan and a route toward co-development or licensing.
From earlier product work to ingredient development
A tangible starting point.
These bottles form part of the project's earlier La Grace Unique history. Today, La Grace Bio focuses on developing and evaluating the underlying ingredients with formulation, research and commercial partners.
Our outputs and applications programme connects that practical experience to cosmetics, nutraceuticals, food and medical research.
