Nanomik Biotechnology

Seed Round in 2020
Nanomik Biotechnology specializes in the development of next-generation biofungicides aimed at enhancing the shelf life of fresh fruits and vegetables. The company utilizes antimicrobial raw materials derived from naturally sourced microorganisms and active plant molecules, which are encapsulated in micro-sized biopolymer capsules. These natural microcapsules adhere to the surface of fruits, releasing their protective agents within 24 to 48 hours. The biopolymer forms an edible layer that effectively prevents mold growth, thereby safeguarding the produce. By providing an alternative to chemical fungicides, Nanomik's products ensure safety for both humans and the environment while also helping farmers reduce food spoilage and waste.
