PbS
At PbS-Phytomel, we are dedicated to cultivating and providing the highest quality phytomelatonin-rich plants. Our mission is to harness the natural benefits of these plants to promote health and well-being. With a focus on sustainability and innovation, we take pride in offering a wide range of phytomelatonin-rich products that cater to various needs. Our team is committed to excellence and looks forward to serving you with premium quality products and outstanding customer service.
Welcome to Plant based Solutions (PbS) (an UMU spin-off Co.)
At PbS we have spent more than 15 years researching into our research lab and greenhouse at UMU, to achieve a natural development that has allowed us to obtain plants rich in phytomelatonin, selecting hypergenerating plants and applying a natural elicitation system, obtaining plants with high phytomelatonin contents for their different applications (see Services):
-
Human and Animal Nutrition
-
Cosmetic
-
Agronomy
-
R+D+i
Our Services
Here, we present the different services that our company can offer, both commercially and research-based through the design and implementation of R+D+i projects. Basically, we have developed several products or services focused on specific sectors with particular developments for each of them and their applications:

Projects
Service 1: Raw Material
Our plants rich in phytomelatonin, from medicinal-aromatic plants (MAP), elicited, cultivated and harvested in organic method, contain high levels of endogenous phytomelatonin, between 75-100 mg phytomelatonin/Kg DW, duly stabilized and ready to undergo extraction or for direct use such as infusions, feed, or another.
We work on request. Fill in the form and tell us your needs about this material (ref. S1-rawmaterial):

Service 2: Phytomel-Bio
From our phytomelatonin-rich plants, we make different solvent-free extracts, with final phytomelatonin concentrations between 0.5-1.0 % (w,w). Several of these stabilized extracts with remarkable antioxidant properties (rich in polyphenols, carotenoids, vitamin C, etc.) are applicable in human nutrition for the manufacture of nutraceuticals, dietary supplements; in animal nutrition (livestock and pets) for incorporation into feed, dietary supplements, others; or for use in the production of cosmetics such as creams, lotions, etc.

Post-harvest
Service 3: Phytomel-Agro
We have managed to produce extracts rich in phytomelatonin aimed at its use as an agricultural biostimulant and phytosanitary (plant pathogen safener) qualities. These extracts, aimed at their use as germination activator, seedling growth in seedbeds, rooting promoter and with plant resilience capacity against abiotic and biotic stress, have proven efficacy in plant development and as improvers of the post-harvest process in fruits, flowers and vegetables. Its formulation allows rapid root, foliar or fruit absorption with guarantees of scientifically proven efficacy.

Service 4: Other plant materials
We have obtained extracts with moderate phytomelatonin content from valerian root (Valeriana officinalis L.) and from the residues of the saffron flowers (Crocus sativus L.).
In the first case, we have verified how at the relaxing qualities of valerian root due to valerenic acid also contribute as its phytomelatonin content of these roots as a synergic sedative and tranquilizer natural compound.
In the case of saffron floral residues, we have obtained an extract with a particular polyphenolic profile in which its phytomelatonin content stands out, where these components provide excellent biofunctional properties for use as strengtheners of functional foods such as plant-based milks, margarines, bread products, etc. Also by cosmetic products.

Service 5: R+D projects
Our group at UMU has proven a great experience in R+D. Since 2000 in phytomelatonin and since 1990 in plant antioxidants in the fields of Phytochemistry, Plant Physiology, Plant Postharvest Food Technology and on Plant Hormones and Synthetic Phytoregulators, our research group has been developing numerous international, national and regional competitive public projects. In addition, our commitment to Transfer+Innovation has led us to develop interesting projects in collaboration with private companies, from the agricultural, agri-food, and human and animal nutrition sectors.
Our Research Offer:
-
Natural biostimulants in seedbeds. Biofortification of horticultural plants and fruit trees.
-
Natural compounds in MAPs (aromatic-medicinal plants) and spices.
-
Post-harvest improvement of fruits and vegetables through natural extracts.
-
Application of plant by-products in human and animal nutrition. Phytogenics in petfood.
-
Analysis of phytohormones in plant material.
-
Analysis of natural antioxidants in foods.
-
All kinds of studies on phytomelatonin.
As consolidated researchers, it is an obligation to make available the consultation of our CVs where you can check all our contributions such as publications, conferences, projects, etc.
