MetaCore™ Technology
What is MetaCore™ Technology?
Beyond amino acids. Activating plant metabolism.
Aminocore develops the next-generation biostimulants built around MetaCore™ Technology, a biologically complex combination of bioactive peptides, biologically active amino acids and naturally occurring metabolites.
One biological platform
More than an amino-acid biostimulant
Plants do not function through individual compounds working in isolation. Growth, nutrient uptake, stress response and recovery depend on thousands of numerous biochemical reactions. MetaCore™ reflects this biological complexity.
Rather than supplying plants with amino acids alone, MetaCore™ works across multiple physiological pathways to support metabolic activity, nutrient efficiency, stress resilience, recovery and crop performance.
One biological platform. Multiple pathways. Better crop performance.
Bioactive peptides
Low-molecular-weight peptides are biologically active compounds that can interact with important physiological and metabolic processes within the plant.
They form a key part of the MetaCore™ platform and differentiate Aminocore from conventional products based primarily on free amino acids.
Biologically active amino acids
Amino acids remain essential building blocks for plant metabolism, proteins, enzymes and many other biological compounds.
MetaCore™ provides a balanced broad spectrum of readily available free L-amino acids, helping plants access these metabolic building blocks without relying entirely on their own synthesis.
Naturally occurring metabolites
MetaCore™ contains more than 150 identified naturally occurring metabolites, including lipids, bile acids, carbohydrates and nucleotides.
These biologically active compounds contribute to the complex network of metabolic processes associated with plant growth, nutrient utilization, stress response and physiological performance.
How MetaCore™ works
Designed to support the plant throughout the crop cycle
Activate
Support metabolism, enzyme activity and energy flow.
Build
Support root development, vegetative growth and productive biomass.
Use
Improve nutrient uptake, movement and utilization.
Protect
Help maintain physiological activity during heat, drought, salinity and other stress conditions.
Recover
Help plants return faster to active growth following adverse growing conditions or crop-protection applications.
The objective is simple:
Help the plant use more of its biological potential.
High biological activity
High biological activity. Low application rates.
The value of a biostimulant should not be measured by how many litres are applied per hectare, but by the biological response it creates.
The high biological activity of MetaCore™ formulations enables effective crop responses at significantly lower application rates than many conventional amino acid-based products.
Depending on the formulation, crop and application program, Aminocore technologies can be effective from very low field rates.
This translates into:
- Improved crop growth, yield and quality
- Lower product requirement per hectare
- Stronger return on investment (ROI)
The process
Technology starts with the process
The biological activity of a biostimulant depends not only on what is present in the raw material, but also on how it is processed. Aminocore uses controlled enzymatic hydrolysis under mild processing conditions. Unlike aggressive chemical hydrolysis using strong acids, alkalis and high temperatures, enzymatic processing helps preserve valuable biologically active fractions.
The result is a naturally complex matrix containing L-amino acids, low-molecular-weight peptides and naturally occurring metabolites.
This biological complexity is at the core of MetaCore™ Technology.

From metabolism to crop performance
MetaCore™ Technology has been developed to create measurable agronomic value.
Across different crops and growing environments, Aminocore solutions have demonstrated improvements in areas including root development, crop vigour, nutrient efficiency, stress recovery, yield and crop quality. The technology has been commercially used across Europe, South America, Africa and Asia.
