Dutch sustainable ingredients and solutions provider Corbion has rolled out advanced solutions to meet the growing needs of manufacturers in the refrigerated foods segment.
The new additions, which expand the company’s Verdad Opti Powder portfolio, are designed to protect against microbes and ensure the safety, freshness, and quality of chilled products.
The microbes include yeast and mould, gram-positive pathogens and various spoilage bacteria.
Corbion functional ingredients and solutions senior vice president David Charest said: “Delivering refrigerated products consumers can trust to be safe and delicious, while reducing product returns, minimising food waste, and cutting distribution costs is a lot to accomplish across complex value chains.
“Doing all that while meeting consumer demand for more natural, understandable product formulations makes it even more challenging. Corbion solutions, tools, and support teams are built to help them accomplish all of those things.”
Corbion offers a diverse range of fermentation-based ingredients, including vinegar, cultured dextrose, cultured sugar, cultured onion, and celery, for culinary applications.
The solutions enable effective microbial control while preserving the distinctive flavour and quality of deli salads, soups, dressings, and prepared foods.
They are designed to easily integrate into formulations and help manufacturers achieve their preservation goals without depending on petroleum-based preservatives.
Corbion’s success builds on its ability to provide a personalised, consultative approach to leveraging ingredient technology.
