Raw Material Improvement Services

Food production at an international level has and continues to be faced with drastic challenges including a diminishing supply of resources, climate change, and the altering want of consumers looking for nutrition and sustainability. To solve these challenges, we, a bio-environmental company, introduce innovation in biotechnology through our raw material improvement services, whereby advanced methods of meeting functionality, quality and sustainability of food raw materials is possible. Leveraging modern biotechnology with green solutions enables manufacturers to boost productivity while investing in the circular economy at the same time.

Service Overview

Our efforts concentrate on the raw materials of food, for example, plant and dairy based products, and systematically improve them using biological, chemical, and physical methods. The modifications focus on optimization of critical tasks that include nutrient bioactive availability, shelf life extension, waste creation, and carbon footprint.

Technical Features

This methodology is based on three pillars:

• Biomodification: The application of enzyme processes, microbial fermentation, and gene manipulation to synthesize a molecule with better functionality.
• Process Optimization: A change in the extraction as well as pretreatment processes in order to increase productivity while wasting less energy.
• Waste Valorization: Use of biorefinery methods to transform dietary fibers, antioxidants and other high-grade byproducts into valuable additives.

Technology Classification

• Precision Targeting: Gene editing and AI screening modifies specific proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates.
• Low-Impact Processing: Electric pulses and ultrasonic waves are used for extraction in place of heat to avoid the destruction of bioactive materials.
• Scalability: Modular designs permit operations ranging from artisanal to industrial scale.
• Regulatory Compliance: All changes made are compliant with FDA, EFSA, and non-GMO regulations.

Technical Categories

• Preprocessing Improvement: Microbial consortia for the detoxification of contaminated grains; enzymatic debittering of plant proteins.
• Fermentation Technology: Strain improvement of lactic acid bacteria for integrating probiotics in dairy products.
• Enzymatic Texturization: Elasticity improvement of meat analogs by transglutaminase crosslinking.
• Biofortification: Enrichment of zinc/iron crops through rhizosphere microbiome engineering.

Application Areas

• Alternative Proteins: Improving the solubility and emulsification of pea/rice protein isolates.
• Bakery: Amylase-treated flours with low sugar content and high fiber retention.
• Beverages: Peptic enzyme clarifying juices with an increase in yield of 30%.
• Functional Foods: Microencapsulation of heat-sensitive nutraceuticals using a yeast-derived vector.

Environmental Benefits

• Carbon Reduction: The use of fermentation additives lowers green house gas emissions by 40-60% compared to synthetic ones.
• Water Savings: Freshwater usage lowered by 25% through closed loop processing systems.
• Waste Diversion: Transforming the majority of olive mill wastewater into polyphenol rich preservatives.
