R&D for THE PRODUCTION OF NEXT GENERATION FUNCTIONAL INGREDIENTS​

PREDIV proposes an innovative offer of strategic differentiation for actors wishing to secure and optimize the functional plant-based ingredients into their products.  

Based on a double agronomic and technological competence, PREDIV expertise allows, for a given phytochemical profile, to deploy a complete range of services allowing the varietal selection and the optimization of cultural parameters allowing to ensure optimized quality and the stabilization of the phytochemical profile studied.

Thanks to its partners, PREDIV accompanies its customers in the definition of the most suitable local production method for large-scale transposition (fields, greenhouse, indoor 3D) with the defined key cultural parameters.

YOUR ASSETS: YOU HAVE CONTROL

Optimization and the stabilization of the phytochemical profile of a proprietary cultivar constitute a major axis of strategic differentiation.

 

When accompanied by the relocation of production to (shorter) circuits, this mastery of the functional ingredient sourcing represents a solid creation of sustainable value, allowing to combine performance:

  • Economic (differentiation from the competition),

  • Societal (localization/diversification of production/extraction activities),

  • Environmental (drastic reduction of the carbon footprint of sourcing).

Our added value

Accelerate development phases

  • Reduce photoperiodic cycles to accelerate certain development phases (varietal selection)

  • Limit the risks of failure or delays linked to climatic hazards (guarantee milestones for development phase deliverables)

  • Phasing the key stages of the project (selection, definition of the cropping pathway, transposition test, scale-up)

Objectivize agronomic and phytochemical results

  • Define and size the modalities in relation to the expected deliverables

  • Define, program, supervise, trace the fixed and variable parameters of the tested ecosystems

  • Correlate phytochemical evolutions to the key cultural parameters studied

Valorize the results

  • Propose cultivation path optimizations

  • Support the choice of the appropriate production method (fields, greenhouse, indoor)

  • Accompany the first transposition trials with the producer partners on the basis of technical itinerary specifications

Deployed on more than 500 m² including 300m² of UAA, the PREDIV platform is equipped with all the equipment needed to conduct crop trials under totally controlled conditions.

 

The platform is composed of 10 climatic chambers distributed as follows :

  • 2 "arctic" climates : from 5°C to 26°C

  • 8 "temperate" climate chambers: from 14°C to 30°C

 

As well as a laboratory for:

  • Germination

  • Harvesting

  • Post-harvest : drying & grinding

  • Cold storage

​

​

​

A UNIQUE PLATFORM TO SIMULATE ALL CLIMATES​

​

  • 10 to 35 m² of UAA / climatic chamber

  • Regulation of humidity

  • Ventilation from 1 to 3 m/s

  • CO2 regulation from 400 to 3 000 ppm

  • Light :

    • White

    • Far red

    • Multi spectral: tailor-made light spectrum

 

​

A fine simulation of the desired climate

The combination of this unique equipment, the technological mastery and the agronomic expertise of its teams allows PREDIV to offer a complete and tailor-made service that fits perfectly into the innovation and sourcing strategy of its clients' for the development of high added value plant ingredients.
