like biome. The fruit is well known for its high nutrition in regional cookery and homeopathic medicine. On skin, Pequi oil’s unique fatty acid profile helps provide hydration and elasticity. The microorganism Rhodotorula, a
common environmental yeast inhabiting the surface of the plant, is capable of transforming carotenoids into retinol-like compounds. Pequi oil after fermentation with Rhodotorula has high content of retinol-like and retinoic acid- like compounds. These retinoid-like compounds are non-
irritating when compared to natural or synthetic retinol. Furthermore, they have clinical activity by acting on the same biological pathways as retinol, but without the sensitising effect.
The Plantus Group Plantus Biotech is a Brazilian business unit responsible for producing fermented biotechnological products via a unique proprietary method developed to optimise the species of microorganisms used in the processes in correlation to the type of fermentation process that will be carried out. Plantus’ biotechnology unit has separate
areas for the fermentation process, which allow processes with the maximum possible yield, in addition to having the necessary biosafety levels for the production and storage of raw materials. Plantus Industry was founded in 2010 by
Zelita Maria Santos Rocha from the non- government organisation Fitovida. Plantus employs an innovative biotechnological fermentation processes to stimulate production in oily products, obtaining unique products with functional bioactive compounds and enzymes without using genetically modified organisms. These processes generated lines of products
that can be used and incorporated in a large variety of products. The Plantus Group includes companies that have a common aim to contribute to society while maintaining its environmental responsibilities. The group comprises of Plantus Industry,
Prolab Aromatique, Plantus Farms and Plantus Biotech. The activities of each company functions with a view to maximise the potential and capabilities of its counterparts. The initial intention of Fitovida was to
train the Brazilian communities to provide and market natural products to local and international industries. As a byproduct of this education, it was hoped that this process would increase their concern for the environment. However, due to the demands of the large
companies for quality control from harvest to supply, there were many obstacles to the purchase of natural products from local communities. The required standards for production and hygiene could only be fulfilled by having control of each step of the process from growing the plants to the final product hence the birth of Plantus Industry. With the creation of Plantus Farms, the
group has been able to satisfy their own demand for raw materials, reducing costs in the long run and ensuring the quality of the products with a sustainable perspective. Additional benefits include generating
