Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms
Bartek Ingredients Inc.
$700,000.00
Develop Bio-pathway to produce organic acids and fortification salts using petroleum-based and bio-based organic acids.
FY 2023-24 · 2023-08-01
Summary
Bartek is a global leader in manufacturing food additives to prolong food freshness and shelf life. This project will explore the possibilities of producing bio-based organic acids. Biobased and oil based organic acids (being used presently by Bartek) will then be converted to fortification salts as a cost-effective nutritional supplements/product. Bartek will explore and prototype production processes to produce fortification salts. Comparative testing will then be performed to select the most cost-effective fortification salts from either oil based or bio-based acids. Several methodologies will be selected using various fortification salts to fill the gap of “lack of nutrient salts”.

Description (French)
Bartek est un leader mondial dans la fabrication d’additifs alimentaires destinés à prolonger la fraîcheur et la durée de conservation des aliments. Ce projet explorera les possibilités de production d’acides organiques biosourcés. Les acides organiques biosourcés et à base d’huile (actuellement utilisés par Bartek) seront ensuite convertis en sels de fortification en tant que suppléments/produits nutritionnels rentables. Bartek explorera et prototypera des processus de production pour produire des sels de fortification. Des tests comparatifs seront ensuite effectués pour sélectionner les sels de fortification les plus rentables à partir d’acides à base d’huile ou d’acides biologiques. Plusieurs méthodologies seront sélectionnées en utilisant divers sels de fortification pour combler le manque de sels nutritifs.
