Food conservation and preservation

Food conservation and preservation
 
Bioprotection requires finding probiotic organisms (live bacteria that have a beneficial effect on the host) that protect food from dangerous bacteria. Dangerous bacteria most often form biofilms that protect them from so far used soft cleaning methods compatible with food. In order to find the right competing probiotic bacteria, it is necessary to screen directly for probiotics active on undesirable biofilms.

At BioFilm Control we have developed the technology and the service that will make the difference.

The BioFilm Ring Test allows us to measure how molecules and macromolecules produced by probiotics :

• Destroy existing biofilms
• Prevent biofilms from forming

Because the BioFilm Ring Test ® allows to evaluate in high throughput mode and quickly many strains of probiotics against many strains of dangerous bacteria, it becomes possible to identify highly efficient probiotics in a systematic manner.

Thanks to well selected probiotics, it will be possible to protect food and food processing devices from dangerous bacteria and reduce the risk of health and life threatening contaminations, loss of production lots, and devastating counter-publicity.
