Correction: Corbion extends patent coverage on fruit-based food
protection and sensory technology
Corbion has been granted a European patent for its fruit
ferments containing natural organic acids and other flavour
compounds. The fruit ferments can be used in a range of food
applications, including bakery.
The patent extension now covers Europe, the US and Japan.
Corbion’s fruit fermentations enable manufacturers to adjust
flavour profiles and textures of baked goods naturally and
sustainably; the fermentations themselves also have natural
preservation qualities.
David Charest, vice president, Sustainable Food Solutions at
Corbion, said: “With rocketing interest in fermented foods and the
ongoing need for multifunctional, natural solutions throughout the
food industry, this is an exciting milestone for us.
“Fermentation has been one of our core competencies for nearly a
century, and we’re now using nature’s inherent defence mechanisms
in new ways to maintain and improve quality in the foods we all
enjoy every day.”
Corbion’s process involves the fermentation of liquid fruit
preparations – typically citrus and vegetable-like fruits,
including apples, melons, pumpkins and bell peppers – with selected
food-grade cultures. The resulting metabolites can reportedly boost
or soften various flavour components and additionally control
microbial growth.
Charest commented that the company’s IP-protected technology
underpinning the development reflects Corbion’s Advance 2025
strategy: “As well as providing high quality ingredients that align
with the expectations of today’s consumers, this technology is an
excellent representation of Corbion’s current strategy, Advance
2025, which seeks to ‘champion preservation in all its forms’,” he
said.
“Aligned with the United Nations’ SDG 2 (zero hunger), SDG3
(good health and wellbeing) and SDG 12 (responsible consumption and
production), we’re not only helping preserve our customer’s
products, but reduce waste from fruit growers, too.”
