FreshQ DA food culture solution

Fermenting with Chr. Hansen’s FreshQ DA in the food culture solution is designed to help improve the robustness of fermented products against spoilage throughout the value chain, maintaining quality for longer to optimise consumer satisfaction.

Now in its third generation, the latest version is aimed at the growing market for fermented plant-based foods.

FreshQ DA consists of lactic acid bacteria selected for its ability to out-compete contaminants through fermentation.

The product implements bioprotection — an innovation that uses ‘good bacteria’ to fight ‘bad bacteria’, yeast and mould, to help keep food fresh from the inside out.

Extending freshness can enable producers to optimise production and logistics, reducing waste in the value chain. It also gives consumers a longer window during which to eat the food.
