Naturex, Galactic partner to develop new preservation solutions

In line with this, Galactic and Naturex have launched a joint research program to develop a range of preservation systems that include both anti-microbial and antioxidant protection.

Guaranteeing adequate shelf life for food and beverage products can be particularly challenging for manufacturers who are seeking natural solutions. Products must be safe to consume and keep their organoleptic properties. Preservation thus requires a combination of two types of ingredients, which must be synchronized to have the same duration of effi cacy in order to optimize cost.

Combining their respective areas of expertise Galactic and Naturex will develop standardized and all-in-one shelf life solutions tailored to each type of application. The fi rst results of this long-term collaboration will be unveiled in 2014.
