  "account": "Seoul and Bangkok, Sept. 7, 2026 - Wooree Group, a biotechnology and lighting solutions leader with 60 years of experience, concluded its participation at Vitafoods Asia 2026 in Bangkok, Thailand. The company showcased its proprietary liposome technology and integrated bio value chain, featuring Wooree Green Science, Wooree Bio, and consumer brands Harutin and Clarion.\n\nWooree Group's CEO, Ji-yong Yoon, emphasized the need for rigorous scientific standards in the liposome market during a briefing session. He pointed out the lack of clear industry standards, leading to products being marketed as liposomal based solely on particle size or the presence of phospholipids.\n\nYoon proposed a validation framework, the Six Pillars, to build genuine trust in liposomal products. The framework includes liposome structure verification, particle size and concentration analysis, encapsulation efficiency, long-term shelf stability, gastrointestinal stability, and pharmacokinetic evaluation of bioavailability.\n\nWooree Group's proprietary liposomal ingredient brand, LIPOPRIME, includes around 40 ingredients, such as Vitamin C, glutathione, omega-3, and curcumin. NTA analysis showed that some LIPOPRIME ingredients have particle concentrations up to 24 times higher than competitors. The company is expanding globally, with Harutin health functional foods on Amazon in the US and collaborations with a plant-cell biotechnology firm on next-generation functional ingredients. Wooree Group aims to further expand partnerships across Southeast Asia and the global nutraceutical market.",
