What we offer

Valuation of sub-products

The agri-food industry produces a high volume of rejection that cannot be directly marketed, but contains potentially valuable ingredients. Our solution is to use these ingredients, only eliminating their undesirable characteristics (including microbiological stabilization) and making simple modifications to increase their functionality.

In the case of antioxidants, we already know that the combination of different compounds provides a synergistic effect that increases their effectiveness. In by-products of plant origin frequently the fraction rich in antioxidants is also in fiber, and allows combining both properties.

  • Naturally-rich dietary fiber ingredients have been applied to bakery products and beverages to improve their fiber content, and at the same time improve their sensory and technological properties.
  • From cheese whey, an important by-product of the dairy industry, flavoured milkshakes were made. In another similar project, modified serum proteins were used as a functional ingredient in the preparation of dairy desserts, custards and custard.
