Specific Food Preservation Solution Development

One of the most pressing issues facing the food sector today is guaranteeing the safety of food products while prolonging their life and lowering biodiversity loss. Conventional synthetic food preservatives, varying from additives, chemicals, and high energy refrigeration, often lead to loss in nutritional value, waste, and carbon emissions. Hence, CD BioSciences developed the specific food preservation solution development service that integrates biotechnological advancements and green engineering for tailored strategies that range across various food products. Our solutions tackle food waste, energy use, and the shift to circular economies, which is why they align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Here, we describe our technical capabilities, scope of services, and eco-friendly commitments in support of customers within the food supply chain.

Service Overview

We offer specific food preservation solution development, which encompasses food preservation systems for specific chemical, microbiological, and logistical attributes of customers' food products. We accommodate all kinds of food products including highly perishable proteins, certain seasonal fruit, and even ready-to-eat meals. We utilize a wide array of disciplines including:

• Dynamic preservation protocols, e.g. temperature-modulated enzyme inhibitors.
• Bioactive compound screening, e.g. natural antimicrobial and antioxidant substances.
• Smart packaging material engineering, e.g. oxygen scavenging biodegradable films.

Technical Principles

Our preservation technologies are biomimetic and based on green chemistry with a focus on four key mechanisms.

• Inhibition of Microbial Growth: These are plant-based antimicrobial agents (essential oils, bacteriocins) capable of breaking pathogen biofilms without negatively impacting food organoleptics.
• Augmentation of Oxidative Stability: Lipids and pigments, which are prone to rancidity, are protected by the encapsulation of antioxidants, such as polyphenols and tocopherols, in the Nanoliposomes.
• Control of Moisture: Chitosan cellulose comprises hygroscopic biopolymers which keep the water activity (aw) within controllable limits to prevent mold development.
• Modification of Gas Atmosphere: Ripe and senescent delaying active packaging systems that let out or soak up CO2, O2, or ethylene.

Technical Categories

Active Packaging:

• Foils containing oxygen scavengers.
• Ethylene absorbers made for climacteric fruits.

Edible Coatings:

• Whey protein isolates with meat-preserving thyme oil.
• Alginate coatings with calcium lactate for fresh-cut vegetables.

Biopreservation Cultures:

• Cultures of lactic acid bacteria for the control of natural fermentation.

Controlled-Release Systems:

• Microencapsulated probiotic cultures for fermented dairy products.
• Antimicrobials released from pH responsive nanocarrier systems in acidic conditions.

Application Areas

• Proteins: The preservation of seafood, poultry, and vegetable protein sources.
• Fruits and Vegetables: Hairline coating to prevent enzymatic browning of avocados, berries and fresh greens.
• Bakery and Confectionery: Prevention of mold growth in gluten-free and high moisture content products.
• Ready to Eat Meals: Multi-hurdle technologies for sous-vide and microwaveable meals.
• Beverages: Natural stabilization of functional juices and milk replacers.

Environmental Benefits

• Reduction in food waste by 50-70%: Prolonged shelf life reduces spoilage.
• Lower the carbon footprint by 30%: Decreased demand for refrigeration and chemical manufacturing.
• Circular economy: Agricultural waste is used as raw materials.
• No persistent pollutants: 90-day full biodegradability under composting conditions.

Our Services

We provide a holistic suite of services:

• Needs Assessment: Collaborative analysis of client's product lifecycle and pain points.
• Prototype Development: Lab-scale formulation and pilot testing.
• Post-Market Monitoring: Real-time shelf-life tracking via IoT-enabled packaging sensors.
• Certification Testing: Organic, vegan and carbon neutral label testing.
