Reference number : GC-2017-Q3-00435, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Sorensen, John (University of Manitoba)|Sorensen, John (Université du Manitoba), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Manitoba, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : All Natural Nutritional Products (ANNP) Inc. is a research-based Natural Health Product company that_x000D_
produces and markets high quality nutraceutical supplements licensed by Health Canada. The two principals of_x000D_
the company are Dr. Ronald R. Marquardt and Dr. S. Li. ANNP, in a new venture, is interested in bringing bulk_x000D_
quantities of two high-value and widely used natural products, rutin and its aglycone, quercetin, to the_x000D_
nutraceuticals market. These natural products can be extracted from buckwheat forage. It will be necessary to_x000D_
first demonstrate that the two products can be economically produced in a laboratory-based study as proposed_x000D_
in the Engage Grant application. Dr. John Sorensen, Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry,_x000D_
University of Manitoba, will develop a study designed to optimize the extraction, isolation and purification of_x000D_
rutin from buckwheat and then the hydrolytic production of quercetin from rutin. The Sorensen lab has_x000D_
extensive experience in Natural Products Chemistry, and has a well-equipped laboratory and the support staff_x000D_
capable of carrying out all aspects of the proposed research. It is anticipated that the project will result in the_x000D_
development of simple, innovative, unique and inexpenseive method for the production of the two products._x000D_
The optimized procedures will then be scaled up in a pilot plant study followed by the industrial production of_x000D_
the two products in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Manitoba. Dr. Sorensen's research will enable_x000D_
ANNP to competitively and profitably produce the two high value nutraceuticals from a locally produced crop._x000D_
