Corporate Mission
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 organisms 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. Despite their significant commercial value, historically terpenes have been under exploited because they are too costly to produce with existing technology.
Allylix?s technology platform allows it cost effectively discover and produce a wide range of terpenes. Its initial product pipeline includes six products- one flavor: nootkatone; four fragrances and an insect repellent. Combined, these first six products offer potential peak revenues of over $200 MM/year. The Company will have its first two products on the market in early 2008, its third product in mid 2008, the fourth and fifth products in 2009 and its sixth product in 2010.
