MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA – 16 December 2020 – New research published in the ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering journal used renewable solvent CyreneTM – produced by biotechnology company Circa Group from waste biomass – to extract two key phytonutrients, hesperidin and rutin. Hesperidin is a sought after natural flavonoid, which is also being looked at to help tackle COVID-19, as it binds to the virus’ key proteins and counteracts cell-damaging effects triggered by infection and inflammation.
