Advanced BioNutrition Corp.

Advanced BioNutrition Corp. (ABN) is a privately held American technology company founded in 2001. It describes itself as a technology provider focused on environmentally sustainable, science-based bioactive stabilization and delivery solutions. Its technologies span human nutrition and health, human biologics, agriculture, food ingredients, and food safety. ABN works with clients from proof of concept through development, licensing, and technology transfer, and its intellectual property portfolio includes over 40 patents. The company's roots lie in sustainable aquaculture nutrition and fish health. In 2002 ABN became the worldwide exclusive licensee of DSM's patents covering the use of algal DHA in all animal applications. In 2004, the first environmentally friendly, totally vegetarian-grown shrimp were produced in research farms operated by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources using ABN technology. Working with academic institutions, ABN developed products including DHA Gold and AquaGrow Gold. In 2007 these products and technologies were licensed to DSM's new Animal Science Division, allowing ABN to concentrate on protection and delivery technologies for sensitive bioactives such as vaccines, probiotics, enzymes, and vitamins for animal and agricultural applications. Recognizing the need for improved shelf stability and post-gastric delivery of probiotics, ABN scientists developed a program to protect and deliver bioactives. These discoveries became part of the company's flagship Targeted Delivery Systems technology, commercially introduced at the Institute of Food Technology Annual Meeting in 2008. ABN's interdisciplinary team includes biologists, chemists, food scientists, agronomists, and engineers. The company continues to explore new verticals based on its technologies and patents, positioning itself as a partner for enhancing the stability, delivery, and effectiveness of consumer and agricultural products.

Advanced BioNutrition Corp. (ABN) was founded in 2001, with its roots in technology developed for sustainable aquaculture nutrition and fish health. In 2002, ABN became the worldwide exclusive licensee of DSM's patents pertaining to the worldwide use of algal DHA in all animal applications, and it proceeded to test this material for practical application. In 2004, the first environmentally friendly, totally vegetarian-grown shrimp were produced in research farms operated by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources using ABN technology. Working with top academic institutions around the world, the ABN team developed new understandings of the critical nature of sustainable nutrition for farmed animals as well as companion and performance animals. This led to a number of product launches including DHA Gold and AquaGrow Gold. In 2007, these products and technologies were licensed to DSM's new Animal Science Division so that ABN could concentrate on the development of protection and delivery technologies for sensitive bioactives including vaccines, probiotics, enzymes, and vitamins for commercial applications in animal and agricultural industries. Recognizing a critical need for improved shelf stability and post-gastric delivery of gut-friendly bacteria (probiotics), ABN scientists aggressively pursued a developmental program to protect and deliver bioactives so they could be effectively utilized. The discovered solutions became part of the company's flagship technology—Targeted Delivery Systems—commercially introduced for the first time at the Institute of Food Technology Annual Meeting in 2008. Since its inception, ABN's scientists and engineers have helped the company grow into a diversified provider of solutions that better stabilize, protect, and deliver bioactives to their targeted sites. The company has developed expertise in delivery technologies that enable customers and partners to enhance or improve product development, processing, or performance. ABN pursues innovative methods to commercialize products and technologies that are financially sustainable and environmentally responsible.
