Allylix has developed proprietary technology that allows it to produce a group of natural products called terpenes at low cost. In nature, terpenes are produced by plants in minute quantities to serve a number of different functions. Some are flavors and fragrances, while others are anti-fungal and anti-viral and still others are insect repellents. Because of this, terpenes have significant commercial value to the flavor and fragrance, insect repellent and pharmaceutical industries. Allylix's proprietary technology platform allows it to cost effectively produce a broad range of terpenes and thereby exploit their significant commercial value.
