An adapt production process and new culture media development are keys to ensuring viability and vitality throughout your process resulting in microorganisms which maintain their desired functionality.
Fermentation, food cultures and probiotics have, for millennia, been a part of our diets, shaped our foods and beverages, and positively impacted our health. Microorganisms and fermentation represent an infinite source of innovation to answer key challenges of the food, feed, and health industries for years to come.
A multitude of strains are produced by industrial fermentation, each requiring specific nutrients and nitrogen sources, resulting in complex production constraints. The most common food cultures and probiotics are lactic acid producing bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus or Lactobacillus plantarum, and non-lactic producing strains such as Bifidobacterium lactis or Streptococcus thermophilus.
The efficient production of biomass and management of living microorganisms necessitate a fusion of advanced scientific expertise, precise engineering, and meticulous logistics, all while considering the evolving market landscape and meeting consumer expectations.
That is where we are able to help!
