Our preservative is a testament to the power of nature, enhanced by science. We use a carefully orchestrated fermentation process to unlock the full potential of beta-carotene, a natural protector found in carrots. The result? A potent, sustainable, and clean-label preservative that helps keep your food fresh and delicious, naturally.
We begin by collecting carrot side streams (peels and pulp) that would otherwise go to waste, breathing new life into valuable resources.
The carrot side streams are carefully prepared for fermentation, creating the ideal environment for our microbial partners to thrive.
We introduce a select group of microorganisms to the prepared carrots. These tiny helpers include: Aspergillus oryzae: This master enzyme producer breaks down complex carbohydrates, paving the way for enhanced beta-carotene production. Lactobacillus plantarum & Saccharomyces cerevisiae: These friendly microbes work together to create the perfect conditions for beta-carotene to flourish, fermenting sugars and contributing to the overall process.
Once fermentation is complete, we gently extract and purify the beta-carotene,ensuring the highest levels of purity and quality.
The purified beta-carotene is carefully formulated with antioxidants and encapsulated to protect its potency and make it easy to use in various food products.
Stringent quality control measures ensure that our preservative meets the strictest safety and regulatory standards, guaranteeing a product you can trust.

We extract beta carotene with the use of hot water and controlled pH measurement. Depending on the different sources we take our raw material from, we may apply some additional cleaning processes to ensure the carrot waste is ready to process more.
After this, we have second centrifugation, and we rinse the recovered material. The process is repeated until we have all the carrot extract we want.

Fooditive is proud to partner with Leprino Foods, the world's largest mozzarella cheese manufacturer, to accelerate the adoption of sustainable, animal-free casein. This landmark collaboration leverages the power of Fooditive's precision fermentation technology to create a new generation of plant-based dairy products that meet the highest standards of taste, texture, and functionality.
Exclusive Global License: Leprino Foods gains exclusive worldwide rights to produce non-animal casein using Fooditive's proprietary precision fermentation platform.
Market Leadership: Leprino Foods will lead the commercialization of Fooditive Casein in cheese applications worldwide, and in other food applications within North America.
Shared Vision: This partnership reflects a shared commitment to innovation, sustainability, and providing consumers with delicious, ethical food choices.
We're committed to making Fooditive Sweetener available to everyone, everywhere. That's why we're working diligently to secure regulatory approvals across the globe. Here's a quick snapshot of our current status:
Our novel food application with the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is currently paused due to a requirement for animal testing, a practice that Fooditive firmly stand against. We are actively exploring alternative paths to approval that align with our commitment to ethical and sustainable practices.
We're thrilled to announce that Fooditive Sweetener has been self-affirmed as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) in the US! This means we're ready to launch in the US market, bringing our delicious, low-calorie sweetener to American consumers.
Approval is pending in various regions. For detailed information on availability in your area, please contact our team to help you further.
We employ advanced techniques like High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry to verify the identity, purity, and structural integrity of our casein proteins. Our analysis confirms 100% sequence homology with native bovine casein, guaranteeing identical amino acid composition and functionality.
Stringent microbial testing and analysis for potential contaminants ensure the safety of our product.
We conduct extensive shelf-life studies under various conditions to guarantee product stability and performance throughout its lifecycle. Our studies show that Fooditive Casein maintains its functional properties even under challenging conditions.
We're committed to making Fooditive Casein available to the world. Here's an overview of our current regulatory progress:
While we haven't yet initiated the novel food application process with the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), we remain committed to navigating the regulatory landscape responsibly and transparently, prioritizing ethical and sustainable practices.
We're excited to be actively working towards securing GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status in the US market. Stay tuned for updates on our progress!
We're not yet actively pursuing regulatory approvals in other regions, but we welcome partnerships with companies interested in expanding our products to Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and Africa.
