IFF invests in next-generation starter culture development
IFF has announced new investments in next generation starter culture development and technology. These include a new collaboration with the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) to develop cutting edge tools that will support the development of next generation starter cultures, and a production capability expansion plan.
Globally, consumers are demanding for more plant-based food and beverage products. The world of plant-based is however, extremely diverse and presents several challenges to researchers and developers. The collaboration with the DTU National Food Institute aims to develop tools to improve the fitness of strains for plant-based materials, maximize synergies across strains, and gain better insights into the complexity of these materials. This partnership will help to enhance IFF’s existing portfolio of plant-based cultures.
