FerMentor implements science into daily fermentation practice. Key focus areas are: ► Microbial Physiology ► Food and Health ► Technology ► Sustainability Application areas include Food and Pharma and customers range from multinationals to start-ups. Activities / Track record over the last 20+years: Discovery of microbes from natural niches, strain collections, and challenged mixed populations. Targetted benefits/applications include Probiotics, LBP’s (live biotherapeutic products), Post-biotics, enzyme production, viscosity and vitamin production. Process development of fermentation processes for (strict) anaerobic microbes, starting from medium design, screening, optimisation to small and large scale (industrial) fermentations. Trouble shooting fermentation processes including DSP. Microbial biomass production, enzymatic conversions, and dairy plants. Product development in dairy, Foods related to the Protein Transition, formulation of bacterial powders. Training and workshops. In company, academic and other lectures, but also hands on food fermentation workshops.
