      "Molecules derived from bark can be used in a number of sectors. Three specific applications have been targeted for which the potential sales volume would be very high. The project will validate that the molecules produced can be used effectively in these three applications. Experiments with generic recipes will be carried out to confirm this potential, which will then enable us to approach potential customers. It will then be possible to confirm the functionality of the molecules with the results obtained in the targeted application. There are currently no products incorporating these molecule",
