Re: Redefining preservation together
The state of the art in food preservation science has reached an inflection point at a time when consumers, manufacturers and legislators understand that how we feed the world going forward is crucial to both human health and the future of the planet.
In the past, choosing more sustainable, natural alternatives to traditional synthetics amounted to accepting less in terms of product shelf life, the consumer's eating experience, and even key product performance metrics. At Corbion, we made it our mission to change all that.
The experts at Corbion have, in fact, played a big part in changing what food manufacturers can achieve when incorporating nature-based preservative solutions in their formulations. Over the past nine decades, we've been partnering with our customers to preserve what matters … to them, to the people who buy their products, and to future generations.
Sustainable answers
Preservation has always played a major role in helping manufacturers to reduce food waste, to minimize the footprint of their operations and logistics, to safeguard the health of their customers, and to protect the integrity of their brands. But more mainstream methods of food preservation have traditionally depended on the use of nonrenewable, fossil-based ingredients; given the impacts of climate change, we know such solutions are simply not sustainable. That's why Corbion has led the way in creating highly effective, fermentation-based ingredients that use a variety of plant sugars as a raw material source. Through the solutions we create, and the ways in which we operate our business, we contribute to three of the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Zero hunger (SDG2), Good health and well-being (SDG3), and Responsible production and consumption (SDG12).
Protecting more than safety and shelf life
For more than a century, our food preservation experts have combined an extensive knowledge of natural mechanisms such as fermentation with a deep understanding of how specific compounds interact within a food matrix. With that sophisticated know-how, we create innovative solutions that leverage cutting-edge lactic acid and emulsification technologies, functional blends and more. We deliver the kind of pathogen and spoilage control you want to achieve, then go further to preserve other product attributes important to consumers, like irresistible flavor, texture, color, appearance and enhanced nutrition. Whether you're competing in bakery, dairy, meat and poultry, or confectionery, you'll find that we focus on the challenges that mean the most to you. The team at Corbion is ready to help you – and ultimately, to help your bottom line results – by delaying oxidation, inhibiting mold growth, protecting taste and mouthfeel, maintaining product stability, improving cook yield, optimizing dough strength, preventing sugar inversion … and tackling any other challenges critical to your success. We help preserve the things that matter to you.
