Amerex presents its natural ferments technology in the Food4Life-Spain Food Safety Working Group
On 10 March 2025, Amerex participated in the ‘Food Safety’ Working Group of the Food for Life-Spain Technology Platform (PTF4LS).
On this occasion, Alejandro Rodríguez, Technical Director of Amerex, gave a presentation entitled ‘Ferments for natural preservation in food’.
This was Amerex’s second intervention in the platform’s working groups, after officially joining at the beginning of the year. On this occasion, he shared in detail how fermentation biotechnology can become an effective tool to improve food safety, extend shelf life and reduce additives in a natural way.
During the presentation key aspects were addressed such as:
- ✅ The ‘all natural’ nature of Amerex ferments: free of GMOs, allergens, alcohol, and suitable for Kosher, Halal or vegan diets.
- ✅ Mechanisms of action such as the production of bacteriocins and natural metabolites, without the need to acidify the food or alter its organoleptic properties.
- ✅ Real application cases in meat, dairy, vegetable, bakery or ready meals products, including vulnerable matrices such as hummus, bacon or fresh sausages.
- ✅ Positive impacts on the value chain: quality improvement, waste reduction, alert elimination and brand positioning.
The presentation also included references to recent trials in collaboration with European technology centres, demonstrating the efficacy of our solutions against Listeria monocytogenes, Clostridium spp. and other microorganisms, even under conditions of stress or cold breakdown.
Participation in this group is an example of Amerex’s expertise and its ability to actively collaborate in initiatives that promote a safer, more sustainable and innovative food industry.
