BIOMATERIALS

REIMAGINING INSECT BIOTECHNOLOGY

Insectta's extracts high-quality chitosan and melanin, with our proprietary insect biomaterial extraction technology. We unlock high-value materials never before extracted from insects for applications in healthcare, cosmetics, organic electronics, and more

CHITOSAN

SUSTAINABL· PURE · TRACEABLE

Chitosan is a biomaterial with anti-microbial, moisturising, and anti-inflammatory properties. Widely used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, anti-microbials, and agritech, we bring a circular and clean chitosan to the market

 

Insectta's black soldier fly chitosan is superior to traditional crustacean chitosan for its sustainability, traceability, and undetectable toxic heavy metals.

MELANIN

BIOCOMPATIBLE · WATER-SOLUBLE · CONDUCTIVE

Melanin is a dark pigment that colours our skin, hair, and eyes. Melanin conducts electricity, heals nerves and bones, serves as a cancer therapy, and so much more.

​

Insectta is the first company to extract a pure,100% water-soluble melanin in unprecedented quantities. We set the stage to supply this advanced material to the biomedical and organic electronics industries on a scale never seen before.

FEED ADDITIVES

GUT HEALTH · YIELD · IMMUNITY

COMING SOON

Our proprietary biomaterial extraction process allows us to recapture mineral and protein byproducts that would otherwise be washed away as waste. 

​

We support the circular economy by allowing these products to serve the animal feed industry as high-value supplements to improve yield, boost immunity, and support gut health.
