Kotimaiset bioraaka-aineet terveys- ja hyvinvointituotteissa (FarKos)
The FarKos project studies the properties and suitability of domestic natural raw materials, such as cultivated plants, algae and fungi, as well as various side stream materials and compounds extracted from them, as auxiliary substances for medicines, cosmetics and food supplements. Suitable raw materials are tested in product formulations. If necessary, we will investigate the legislation related to the introduction of new and sidestream raw materials as well as the required documentation.
