There are many valuable secondary metabolites in plants, which could be used for various commercial and therapeutic purposes.
Until now, direct extraction from plants has been widely performed to obtain useful plant secondary metabolites. However, there
have been serious limitations, that is, difficulty of providing source plants, producing low amounts of metabolites of interest,
and causing environmental problems due to felling trees. Plant cell culture is a kind of biotechnology to highly produce metabolites
of interest by large-scale fermentation of plant cell, which makes it possible to solve the problems mentioned above. This technology
consists of plant cell culture including biochemical and physiological research, extraction and purification, and large-scale fermentation.
The research team of SamYang Genex succeeded in developing a cell line which produces high yields of Genexol¢ç at large scale, and many
research involved in Genexol¢ç is under progress.

Corn Sweetener is a general term of sweeteners made from starch through the processes of hydrolyzation, transition-polymerization and isomerization etc.
Corn Sweeteners have characteristics that their own sweetness, solubility, viscosity, crystallinity, hygroscopicity and the other
attributes vary with degree of hydrolyzation. There are glucose, fructose, corn syrup, oligosaccharides etc. and sugar alcohols made
by hydrogenation of previous materials.
Corn sweeteners are essential to food since they play a role in sweetening, moisture-holding, reactions with other ingredients and control
of bio-functions etc. SAMYANG GENEX Food R&D Center will continue works for various product lines of corn sweeteners, oligosaccharides and
sugar alcohols.

Starch is a natural high-polymeric substance, produced through photosynthesis of plant using water and carbon dioxide. So it is one of the
most abundant and renewable resources on earth. There are so many applications of native starches in food and industrial area like thickener,
stabilizer, quality enhancer, bulking agent, adhesives etc. Also modified starches, which are developed to cover the defect of natural
starches and strengthen their properties by physical and/or chemical method, are widely used.
SAMYANG GENEX, the leading starch manufacturer in the country, produce high quality of starch and modified starches with modern facilities and
state-of-the-art processing techniques supported by SAMYANG GENEX Food R&D Center. As we did, we will continuously research and develop starch
related technology and application know-how of both food and industrial area in order to meet customer satisfaction.

As people take a growing interest in health, development of relevant materials and products is in very high demand. SAMYANG GENEX Food R&D Center
intends not only to develop materials made from starch, starch based sweeteners and by-products of corn wet-milling, but also new materials
performing various physiological functions by diversifying raw materials for the future. Specially, recently the center is developing materials
and products with the preventive functions against circulatory illness, like hyperlipidemia, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and so on.
Also we are going to study animal, human test, and food applications for nutraceuticals for the future.
