Functional Technologies Corp. in-licenses, as well as researches and develops to commercialization, highly advanced proprietary technologies that enhance the natural properties of yeast and algae, two of nature's microscopic workhorses. Our widely published scientists apply novel research techniques to these micro-celled organisms to resolve significant safety and quality problems, and deliver valuable commercial advances in mature multi-billion-dollar markets in the global food, beverage and healthcare industries. Our first commercial products are the Phyterra(tm) line of proprietary yeast strains, designed to reduce the formation of foul-smelling hydrogen sulphide and the carcinogen urethane in wines, beverages and food products. Our first target market is the US$1.5 billion wine and distilled spirits yeast markets. To that end, our naturally enhanced specialty yeasts are currently undergoing extensive trials and testing by a large number of wineries.
