Agritechnology: industrial microbiology, fermentation & food science
Capacity
Our
food science services can provide everything from an initial sample of a few
grams to pilot plant scale up,
providing tonnage
quantities.
WE UNDERSTAND FOOD AT A MOLECULAR LEVEL
AND HAVE THE TOOLS AND EXPERTISE TO CREATE NOVEL FUNCTIONAL FOOD INGREDIENTS THAT HAVE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE THROUGH THEIR SUPERIOR
QUALITY, WHETHER IN TERMS
OF TASTE, PERFORMANCE OR
VALUE.
Analysis
Agritechnology carries out a wide range
of analytical techniques, for example:
* Kjeldahl for crude protein
*
Bradford and Lowry for true protein analysis
* HPLC for carbohydrate,
antioxidants (anthocyanins) and proteins
* Enzymatic assays for complex
carbohydrates
and recognises that establishment of QA protocols is an
essential part of developing a production process.
Human food
ingredients, based on proteinaceous, carbohydrate or lipid
fractions
Organoleptic e.g. functional ingredients that improve mouth
feel; flavours, especially savoury; and flavour enhancers
Nutraceuticals
e.g. antioxidants (anthocyanins), immunostimulants, vitamins, trace
minerals
Physical / processing functions e.g. water binding, gelation,
extenders, egg white substitute
Animal & Aquaculture Feed
Ingredients
Expertise
Agritechnology specialises in the
fractionation of organic materials, by the application of enzymes, to create
functional ingredients:
