We carefully collect banana peels from food processing facilities, ensuring they are fresh and free from contaminants.
The peels are thoroughly washed, sanitized, and dried to prepare them for further processing.
We employ a combination of mechanical and solvent-based techniques to extract the key thickening components – amylopectin and amylose – from the dried banana peels.
The extracted polymers are purified and then blended with food-grade surfactants to enhance stability and performance.
Stringent quality control measures guarantee a product that meets the highest standards for purity, safety, and functionality
Achieve the desired consistency and texture without relying on synthetic additives.
Appeal to health-conscious consumers seeking natural ingredients.
Maintains product stability, preventing separation and ensuring a consistent texture.
Ideal for a range of applications, including sauces, dairy alternatives, frozen desserts, and soups.
Reduces food waste and promotes a circular economy.

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.
