Biochemical Analysis of Birch Sap and Chaga
FY 2016-17
Summary
Semintha Nutraceuticals seeks to be a leader in the formulation and commercialization of value-added healthproducts containing bioactives of birch tree and other natural biomass (various berries). Through this engageproject, we will study biochemical properties of birch sap and chaga and formulate health drinks with enhancedshelf life by incorporating extracts from berry leaves and fruits containing vital antioxidants. The results willprovide the company several birch sap-based formulations and scientific data to support the nutritional andantioxidant properties with health benefits. The outcome of the project will also provide key initial results forthe future long-term research collaborations and also set the basis for the next project (microbiological) focusedon increasing the shelf life of birch sap.
