Fermentation Platform and Strain Library
Vicell designs functionality, not just fermentation. This is the research foundation that connects native probiotic strains with plant-based ingredients.
CORE TECHNOLOGY
Three Core Technologies
Fermentation Solutions Specialised in Plant Materials
Korea's First High-function Vegan Yogurt Fermentation Technology
Vicell Strain Library
We isolate and culture our own native strains alongside patented probiotics, then select them to fit each project goal.
Probiotic strains held 200+
Vicell native strains 150+
- Vicell vegan probiotics
- RDA-patented probiotics
- Patented probiotics
- Functional probiotics
EVALUATION
Evaluation Capabilities
Cell-based testing in vitro
- Anti-inflammatory activity assay
- Antioxidant activity, ABTS radical scavenging assay
- DPPH radical scavenging activity
- Hepatoprotective activity assay
- Anti-allergic activity assay
- Additional project-specific assays
Animal testing in vivo
※ For vegan products we conduct no animal testing at all, except where an initial safety test is required.
- General symptoms and body weight change
- Gastric fluid volume and pH measurement
- Measurement of organ mucosal lesion area
- Inflammation-related factors in organ tissue
- Additional project-specific observations
Microbiome analysis NGS
Next Generation Sequencing
From fecal sampling we review gut microbial communities, diversity, beneficial microbes and harmful microbes, including screening for disease-associated microbiota such as diabetes or irritable bowel syndrome, to confirm product efficacy.
