Changing preferences towards natural food preservation
The vast variety of food applications, each with its unique compositions and microbial exposure, pose a major challenge to food preservation - often requiring an application specific approach. With an ever-growing emphasis on health and well-being, the demand for natural solutions that not only safeguard against decay, but also contribute to food safety is on the rise.
For these fast-emerging markets, Nagardo® offers a groundbreaking preservation technology that not only addresses these challenges, but is set to redefine industry standards across many food applications.
NAGARDO® - Natural Guardian for food applications
Nagardo® is a natural antimicrobial obtained from the edible mushroom Sweet Osmanthus Ear and is extracted without chemical modification. Nagardo® has proven to be a very effective natural antimicrobial agent in beverages, and it also shows great potential in other areas of application, particularly in the food sector. In the United States, Nagardo® has gained a GRAS status for the use in cheese and dry-cured sausages, but its versatility extends far beyond these areas. Efforts for application expansion are actively pursued on a global scale.
