SAFEMIX

What are the challenges of the food industry when it comes to preservatives?

The search for safe food is the main goal for the food industry. In addition, new lifestyles mean that consumers are looking for food with a longer shelf life, keeping the product in good condition at all times. This food is also largely free of chemical additives and allergens, all while maintaining a natural and homemade organoleptic.

How do we replace additives with natural preservatives?

At Amerex, thanks to our experience in protective fermentation and microbiological cultures, we have developed the SafeMix® range of products, produced with fermentation products.

Fermentation is a natural process that has been used effectively for centuries to preserve a wide variety of foods. At Amerex, we use this technology to directly eliminate spoiling microorganisms, chemical additives and also improve the organoleptic properties of the food.

What are the benefits of using SafeMix®?

By using these fermentation products, we can control commercial problems, such as gas generation or colour changes, which reduce the secondary shelf life of a product, and naturally preserve the food.

In addition, its action is focused on reducing the use of additives, such as nitrites or sorbate, and treatments that worsen the organoleptic properties of the food. In this way, you will get a product that is in line with what the consumer is looking for: safe and long-lasting foods with a homemade organoleptic quality and without chemical additives.

What products can we find within the SafeMix® range of natural preservatives?

Within this range of natural preservatives you can find a specialist for specific problems, such as against pathogens such as Salmonella, with SafeMix LS2, or an innovative protector against moulds and yeasts such as SafeMix YM. We also have a specialist against all types of commercial defects and in any food (meat, vegetables, dairy, eggs…), such as SafeMix SP.

All our products are suitable for use in different food matrices: meat, dairy, fish, vegan, ready meals, drinks or sauces.
