Isolation of low-cost chitosan from Trichoderma ressei primarily targeting agricultural applications and development of unique chitosan-based food and beverage preservatives. Isolation of sorbic acid-based food preservatives from cranberries and their by-products and development of unique cranberry-based food and beverage preservatives.
The objective of this project is to develop a clean-label preservative by extracting a natural fibre from white button mushrooms. This natural preservative improves the quality, freshness and shelf-life of various food and beverage products (e.g., juice, yoghurt, dips) thereby reducing food waste through upcycling mushroom stems that would otherwise be wasted.

The funding provided from the Innovation Assistance Program is to assist innovative, early-stage small- and medium-sized enterprises that are unable to access existing COVID-19 business support.
The funding provided by the IAP program is intended to assist innovative small and medium-sized enterprises in the start-up phase that cannot access existing commercial support related to COVID-19.
The objective of this project is to develop a clean-label solution using mushrooms, to improve the quality, freshness and shelf-life of food and beverage products which promotes the reduction of food waste from farm to fork.
Chinova Bioworks will investigate methods to extract and purify natural proteins from Agaricus bisporus mushroom in order to determine if they have any antimicrobial effect and could thus be used in the food and beverage industry as a preserving ingredient.

Chinova Bioworks’ chitosan fiber from mushrooms is an antimicrobial shelf-life extending food and beverage ingredient. High amounts of sodium chloride and high amounts of protein have been shown to interact with chitosan fiber and reduce it’s effectiveness as an antimicrobial. This project will investigate methods to decrease the interaction of chitosan with sodium chloride and protein and maintain its antimicrobial effectiveness.
This project focuses on developing and improving our marketing efforts. It will involve the preparation of various marketing materials, market research, event planning and social media marketing with the goal of increasing our market presence and sales opportunities.
The purpose of this CanExport SMEs agreement is to support small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for activities related to export market development that are part of an export business case for a specific target market, particularly where activities are targeting departmental priority markets and sectors.
The Youth will work with Chinova's expert microbiologists to apply mushroom chitosan preservative formulations to food and beverage models which are technically challenging due to certain properties of the food or beverage. The youth will find methods to test the models for antimicrobial performance of the mushroom chitosan preservative and undertake the tests.
