Bioprotective cultures
From inhibiting food spoilage to avoiding harmful contamination, bioprotective cultures are a rising natural way to answer a major challenge for the agri-food sector, due in large part to the growing limitation of the use of conventional microbiological barriers.
Bioprotection refers to enhanced food safety and extended shelf life of foods by indigenous and/or intentionally added microflora. The microbiological competition and production of antimicrobial metabolites of bioprotective cultures help inhibit the growth of pathogens and spoilage microorganisms.
LALCULT® Protect range offers many several benefits for food producers and consumers.
