The Ajinomoto Group’s unique scientific approach to maximizing our resources, resolving social issues, and contributing to well-being is called “AminoScience.” A key application of “AminoScience” is the Ajinomoto Build-up Film (ABF), which uses amino acid technology to provide electrical insulation within the central processing units (CPUs) of most personal computers, ensuring the computer’s processing center doesn’t overheat. Since ABF’s launch in 1999, it has become the product of choice to insulate most CPUs. Through “AminoScience,” the Ajinomoto Group will continue to improve today’s information and communications technology infrastructure. #ABF #AHN #Ajinomoto #AminoScience #Innovation

Ajinomoto Co., Inc. was the first company in the world to manufacture amino acids using fermentation, but we weren’t the first to use fermentation as a food and beverage process. Some of the earliest evidence of fermentation dates back 10,000 years ago when humans used fermentation to preserve food and create beverages. Today, we’re experts in fermentation technology with over 80 years of research in using the process to help the world eat well and live well.

Hardly perceptible to the human eye, microplastics are one of the most significant global pollutants. Measuring just 5mm in diameter, these plastics pose a significant threat to all life on Earth and are most often found in cosmetic, medical, and agricultural products. Through the development of AMIHOPE® SB, the Ajinomoto Group seeks to replace microplastics in cosmetics. AMIHOPE® SB series is an amino acid-based, biodegradable, 100% natural, globally compliant, plastic microbeads replacement in cosmetic products, offering a safe solution for skin and the environment.  It imparts excellent silky sensory feel, long-term skin adhesion, wrinkle-blurring effect, concealment of skin imperfections, and SPF boosting benefits.
