Safety through

microbiology

We produce highly metabolically active microorganisms with excellent performance for a wide range of applications. We offer customised solutions for every challenge, including high bacteriocin yields to combat listeria during end product fermentation or effective competition suppression in non-fermented products.

Protective cultures

for food and beverages

Protective cultures are a natural way to make food safer. The classic principle of ‘good versus evil’ also applies here. Protective cultures act as a natural antagonist against pathogenic bacteria (e.g. listeria) and spoilage agents.

All benefits at a glance:

  • High end product protection

  • In-house QA methods for quantifying bacteriocin formation capacity

  • Procurement of external research partners for the preparation of official challenge studies in accordance with EU specifications
