At NAC2025 at Thailand Science Park in Pathum Thani, the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA), through the FoodSERP platform and the Thai Cosmetic Cluster (TCOS), highlighted a pilot collaboration between producers, distributors, and researchers in innovating Thai cosmetic products. This initiative focuses on adding value to biological resources, specifically Thai organic Jasmine rice (Rice Biome), by developing a process to produce functional compounds from rice using precision fermentation technology.
The result is ARAMARA trademark rice extract, a key ingredient for various cosmeceutical innovations by entrepreneurs, such as lotions and essences. This effort aims to promote the utilization of Thai rice in the Thai cosmetic industry while fostering sustainable connections between rice seed farmers and the Thai Rice Seed Trade Association.
