1. IMONIC Spin-off Project Presented by Dr Dorothée Goffin

2. Presentation Dorothée : Dr Goffin : Engineer and Phd in Chemistry and bio-industries 7 years of research on functional foods

3. The contexte Chronic disease : 63% of all death (2008) Growing knowledge of the link with nutrition

4. IMONIC Activities Imonic develops and markets Bifunctional health ingredients Process inspired by nature Prebiotic fiber Highly bioavailable minerals IsomaltooligosaccharidesGluconic acid salts and complexes

5. Health benefits of our products Ca 2+ Mg 2+ Zn 2+ Metabolic disorder

6. Importance of the gut µflora

7. Pro et Prebiotics PRO Living bacteria Technological problems Viability before the gut Limited n° of species Efficacity questionned PRE Soluble Fibers Promote  species of probiotics Direct effects on metabolism Structure-dependant

8. Highly bioavailable minerals Prevalence of osteoporosis Importance of Ca and Mg consumption during life time and particularly childhood and menopause Fortification is needed to meet requirements Bioavailability = crucial aspects when dealing with fortification

9. Products designed by nature Sustainable process Organic version Patented

10. Products properties Food ingredients Supplements Natural Sweetener

11. What makes our products unique Naturel product ‘ Designed ’ by nature (material, process, sustainability, organic...) Bi-functional product active on topical chronic disease Products answering food industry needs in techno-functionality (resistance to low pH and high T°, water retention, biostatic...) Nutrition claims (high in fibres, low calories, mineral fortification, low glycemic index...)

12. Main applications (Alcimed) Beverages Mature women Cereal bars Baked Food Dairy products Breakfast food

13. Case study (soft drinks) Less sugar Less calories Combo with sweetners Natural acid Low pH resistant Fiber Soluble minerals Rich in fibers

14. What do we need Strengthens IMONIC Team with a business orientated profile Build–up strong partnership with key ingredients companies to access food industry Raising funds to succeed the different milestones

15. IMONIC Milestones Modification of bioreactors Legislative files Nutrition claims Supplements Food ingredients  Cash  dependant on the model (alone or with ingredients big actors
