About Us
KosmodeHealth, a NUS Food Science & Tech spin-off, expands access to health from nature, sustaining health of people and health of the earth as a B2B enabler. Anchored on a Triple Technology Platform, KosmodeHealth enables repurposing of food processing waste into sustainable functional ingredients for human nutrition in the Agrifood industry and into functional materials for human health in the Biomedical industry. In summary, KosmodeHealth was incorporated with 1 mission, impacting 2 Industries, AGRIFOOD & BIOMEDICAL, with 3 TECHNOLOGIES.
Our Beliefs
- That quality ingredients/materials from nature can be made affordable to the masses by using spent grains that would otherwise be dumped into landfills, instead of whole grains & beans.
- That grown crops should not be used once, then dumped, the current practice. That Spent Grains or Food Processing Wastes, left behind after the first round of food production, should be given a second life; by extracting nutrients such as Proteins & Fibre as a sustainable & economical source of functional ingredients for human nutrition in the AGRIFOOD INDUSTRIES and functional materials for human health in BIOMEDICAL INDUSTRIES.
-
- That Staple Food can be a source of medicine, to address compliance issue, for health management.
