Food fermentation companies align to enhance flavor, maintain quality of fresh prepared foods
Third Wave Bioactives™, a research company specializing in microbial technology, has formed a strategic alliance with Biorigin, an ingredient company specializing in yeast, yeast extracts and other fermentation derived ingredients that enhance the natural taste, mouthfeel and umami of many foods.
“There is an increasing consumer call for greater transparency in food production, and, in particular, more natural alternatives to synthetic ingredients,” says Matt Hundt, president of Third Wave Bioactives. “Combining the strong discovery capabilities and innovation of Third Wave—with the established manufacturing presence and know-how of Biorigin—will allow us to bring truly novel fermented ingredient technologies to the marketplace on a global scale.”
