Kemin Industries BactoCEASE NV antimicrobial solution

Kemin Industries has launched the BactoCEASE NV antimicrobial solution for the food industry. It is designed to delay the growth of bacteria in meat, poultry and seafood products, and to keep the total viable count of microorganisms within the regulated standard. An antimicrobial shelf-life solution, the product is suitable for use in both ready-to-eat and cooked meat products, such as marinated meat, freshly cut meat and processed meat. As a naturally-derived, acetic acid-based ingredient, it can delay the growth of foodborne microorganisms and meets microbiological food safety criteria of total aerobic microbial count and total coliform microbiological standards under food regulations.

The antimicrobial solution is a suitable alternative to synthetic solutions, meeting the consumer demand for clean-label ingredients. It can increase the shelf life of food products much like synthetic preservatives without negatively impacting the product’s texture or flavour. It is also a suitable alternative to sodium lactate, sodium diacetate and other artificial antimicrobials in food production.
