Biopreservatives
Avoiding food waste, naturally
Consumers are increasingly searching out foods with natural ingredients, that stay fresher for longer – and avoid unnecessary food waste. Our family of biopreservatives help you meet that need by replacing artificial preservatives and extending shelf life across a wide range of applications, including dairy, baked goods and beverages.
These days, consumers are not just checking food labels for ingredients. According to the Food & Health Survey 2016, more than 70% of consumers check expiry dates in the supermarket. It means that avoiding spoilage is even more important than ever – and that’s what we’ll help you achieve with our family of biopreservatives, based on decades of microbiology and fermentation expertise.
In fact, here at dsm-firmenich you get more than an ingredients supplier. You get a solutions provider, and a reliable partner – with application experts around the globe that understand your business needs and are here to help you solve them, wherever you are.
