Development of functional probiotic and natural postbiotic foods and semi-finished products
R&D
Through fermentation processes, it is possible to obtain foods or semi-finished products with potential health-beneficial functional effects.
I.T.P. SRL, thanks to a careful selection of the bacterial strain, the food matrix, and control over the fermentation process conditions, manages to develop functional fermented foods or semi-finished products.
Scientific research has shown that the beneficial effect of a fermented product is not only linked to live bacterial cells. Cell lysates, obtained following microbial “inactivation” and the molecules produced during the fermentation process, can indeed provide the same benefits. In this case, we speak of postbiotics.
The key aspect for the development of postbiotics is the use of microbial inactivation treatments of the “Mild” type, which are useful to preserve the functional properties of the fermented product obtained.
Properly designed probiotic/postbiotic semi-finished products can be used as functional ingredients in the fields of food, cosmetics, nutraceuticals, and veterinary.
I.T.P. SRL is able to:
- Develop probiotic/postbiotic semi-finished product prototypes at lab and pilot scale
- Support the validation of the supply chain for probiotic/postbiotic semi-finished products
- Provide postbiotic ingredients for the food, nutraceutical, and cosmetic sectors developed in-house
