Key terms for anyone
meeting GRBM for the first time
The core concepts of Green Red BIO Metabolome and the VPMI platform, explained simply, in seven groups: platform, microbes and bio-information, metabolism and cells, quality and purification, products, service and business, and the industry ecosystem.
In plain words
This glossary was made so that investors and partners meeting GRBM and the VPMI platform for the first time can grasp the core concepts quickly.
GRBM is not a simple plant extract. Built on the life connections among plants, microbes and human cells, it is an eco-bio platform that extends plant resources into metabolome ingredients, products, services, data and bio-candidate materials. The terms below are that platform's language.
PLATFORM
Core platform terms
| Term | Plain explanation |
|---|---|
| VPMI | Vital Probiotics Mutualism and Metabolism Ingredients (Green Red BIO platform Technology). The core eco-bio technology that makes GRBM by applying VPMI-CM to fresh plants — not simple processing or extraction but a bioconversion system that uses genetic-information interaction among plants, microbes and people |
| VPMI-CM | The core biocatalyst material that drives the VPMI process — the "engine" of GRBM manufacturing and the starting point for turning plant resources into metabolome ingredients |
| GRBM | Green Red BIO Metabolome. A plant–microbe-derived metabolome made by the metabolism of fresh plants and plant-borne lactic acid bacteria, aiming at a metabolome human cells can use easily |
| Green · Red · BIO | Green stands for plants and plant-borne lactic acid bacteria, Red for the vitality and recovery potential of human cells, and BIO for the eco-bio technology linking plants, microbes and people |
| Metabolome | A collection of many metabolites that cells can recognize and use, with organic acids, amino acids, phytochemicals and genetic-information-based substances working together |
| Eco-Bio | A bio approach that industrially reorganizes the plant–microbe interactions already present in natural ecosystems |
MICROBES · BIO-INFORMATION
Microbe and bio-information terms
| Term | Plain explanation |
|---|---|
| Vital Probiotics | Plant-derived beneficial microbes activated during GRBM manufacturing — a microbial community whose functions are strengthened through metabolic interaction with plants |
| Plant-Derived Lactobacillus | Lactobacillus-type lactic acid bacteria from inside plants or plant ecosystems, important microbes that turn plant components into metabolomes |
| Mutualistic Symbiosis | A relationship in which different organisms live together and help each other — the key concept for describing plants and plant-borne lactic acid bacteria |
| Biotransformation | The process by which microbes or biological processes turn raw-material components into new useful components |
| External miRNA | Exogenous microRNA from plants and microbes — one of the bio-information signals cells can recognize, and a next-generation bio research material |
| Bacterial sRNA · EV-RNA | Small RNA made by bacteria, and RNA that can travel in extracellular vesicles — research materials related to information transfer between cells |
| Bio-Information Signal | Not a nutrient but a bio-signalling substance that cells can recognize like "information" |
| Plantaricin · Bacteriocin | Natural antimicrobial peptides made by beneficial bacteria; Plantaricin is made by the Lactobacillus plantarum group. An important element in antimicrobial and bio-material research |
| Intron Activation · Exon Non-Interference | A safety-first approach that uses the regulatory potential of non-coding regions (introns) while leaving protein-coding regions (exons) untouched |
| HGT · Horizontal Gene Transfer | The exchange of genetic information between organisms, used to explain plant–microbe interaction |
METABOLISM · CELLS
Metabolism and cell-use terms
| Term | Plain explanation |
|---|---|
| Cell-Recognizable Bio-Metabolome | A bio-substance metabolized into a form cells recognize easily — GRBM's core point of difference |
| Enzyme-Independent Utilization | The concept of aiming at a form that can be used without relying too heavily on digestive or metabolic enzymes |
| Metabolic Alignment | Bringing a disordered metabolic environment toward better balance; rather than claiming treatment, it is described as "aiming at restored metabolic balance" |
| Metabolic Rest | A state in which the body's burden of digestion, breakdown and detoxification falls so that tissues and cells can concentrate on recovery |
| SCFA · Short-Chain Fatty Acids | Organic acids important in gut-microbial metabolism and gut health |
| Complex Organic Acids | An organic-acid matrix centred on lactic and acetic acid — an important component of GRBM's liquid fraction |
| Postbiotics · Biogenics | Useful metabolites left by beneficial microbes, and bioactive substances arising from plant–microbe interaction (miRNA, Plantaricin and others) |
| pH 3 · CFU · 0% salinity | An acid-stabilization marker for quickly judging whether production went normally, the unit for counting live microbes, and the quality standard for salt-free food |
| Chemical-Free · Non-Thermal Process | Made by a biological metabolic process without harsh chemical treatment or high heat |
QUALITY · PURIFICATION · DATA
Quality, purification and data terms
| Term | Plain explanation |
|---|---|
| QL1 | The first quality level, separating only plant residue from the produced material — close to a research raw material or basic food ingredient |
| QL2 | Solids and metabolic liquid separated — suited to bio-food, drinks, powders and smoothie products |
| QL3 | Ginsenosides, bio-substances and genetic material separated in a first pass — used as B2B functional ingredients |
| QL4 | Separated substances reclassified by similar function — high-value fractions such as rare-ginsenoside complexes or the G-M12 Complex |
| QL5 | Each component separated and purified to high purity — extending to research reference standards and MHM-PI candidate materials. Pharmaceutical use presupposes separate non-clinical, clinical, GMP and approval procedures |
| Metabolome Fingerprint | A unique analytical pattern identifying each raw material's metabolome composition; the more it accumulates, the higher the technical barrier |
| Quality Marker · Marker Data | Reference components and indicators that judge a product's quality and function, and their data |
| Batch Consistency | How consistently quality holds across repeated production — a key indicator of industrial feasibility |
| COA · QC SOP | A product's certificate of analysis, and the quality-control standard operating procedures essential for mass production and global partnerships |
| Cold Chain | A logistics system that stores and ships products while keeping them chilled or frozen |
