EF 2025-26 · 2025-04-01
Résumé
The project aims to develop a range of fermented products based on vegetables, herbs, and roots for the food and beverage industry. Optimizing fermentation methods will improve microbial performance in acidic environments, reduce fermentation time, and concentrate products to lower transportation costs. In-depth characterization of symbiotic cultures will ensure process stability. This project will promote innovation in functional foods while meeting consumer demands for clean label, low-salt, and no-added-sugar products.

Description (French)
Le projet vise à développer une gamme de produits fermentés à base de légumes, fines herbes et racines pour l’industrie alimentaire et des boissons. L’optimisation des méthodes de fermentation permettra d’améliorer la performance microbienne en milieux acides, de réduire le temps de fermentation et de concentrer les produits pour diminuer les coûts de transport. Une caractérisation approfondie des cultures symbiotiques garantira la stabilité du procédé. Ce projet favorisera l’innovation en alimentation fonctionnelle tout en répondant aux exigences des consommateurs pour des produits clean label, faibles en sel et sans sucre ajouté.
