pathogens. While the inflammatory response is mostly beneficial for the human body, unregulated and_x000D_
persistent inflammation can lead to tissue damage. Spruce pitch is a natural product abundantly found in New_x000D_
Brunswick's flora that exert multiple beneficial properties to the human body. Mr Peter Porter, president of_x000D_
Savonnerie Olivier from St-Anne de Kent, New Brunswick, approached the research team to investigate the_x000D_
effects of spruce pitch on the inflammatory response of the immune system. Savonnerie Olivier has several_x000D_
natural products on the market derived from numerous wildlife products. While continuing the development of_x000D_
novel and innovative natural product, the company is interested in pursuing local spruce pitch as a potential_x000D_
new product. Unfortunately, the optimal extraction process for the bioactive content spruce pitch remains_x000D_
largely unknown. For this collaboration, our primary objective will be to determine the best approach to extract_x000D_
the bioactive content from spruce pitch. To achieve our objective, Spruce pitch will be collected in various_x000D_
locations in New Brunswick and subsequently sent to my laboratory for initial bioactive content extraction. In_x000D_
conclusion, my laboratory will contribute to the elucidation of the optimal extraction process of the bioactive_x000D_
content found in spruce pitch salve. As a natural product company, Savonnerie Olivier will benefit from this_x000D_
research by having a scientific backing for their product, a rare opportunity among natural products companies., program purpose french : The inflammatory response is a necessary process of the human body towards the defense against exterior_x000D_
