R&D: Exploring nature to create unique sensations

Our research focuses on developing fragrances and pigments derived from microbial sources, offering sustainable, natural, and high-performing alternatives to traditional ingredients. This work reflects our strategic commitment to sensory innovation and environmental responsibility.

Fragrances: aromas from the microbial world

Through microbial fermentation and targeted biosynthesis, we are able to obtain compounds with original sensory profiles, tailored to the needs of sectors such as perfumery, cosmetics, and personal care.

Pigments: towards a cleaner and more natural colour

Our research focuses on discovering natural pigments from microbial cultures sourced from diverse ecosystems. We promote environmentally friendly biotechnological processes as an alternative to synthetic dyes.

Active research lines:

Selection of microbial strains producing volatile compounds and pigments.
Optimization and scale-up of microbial fermentation processes.
Design and creation of an exclusive portfolio of products under development.

Scientific collaboration as a driver of innovation

Through close collaboration with public research centres, we are advancing the development of innovative biotechnology-based fragrances and pigments. These partnerships give us access to cutting-edge scientific infrastructure, facilitate knowledge exchange, and accelerate discovery.
Our expertise in applied microbiology and fermentation processes enables DBSE to meet emerging market challenges, with the goal of offering, in the medium term, sustainable and customized sensory solutions for a variety of industries.
