Amerex present at the International Conference on Fermented Foods in Italy
From October 27 to 30, 2025, Amerex took part in the International Conference on Fermented Foods, held at the NOI Techpark in Bolzano, Italy.
This international event brought together leading researchers, universities, and companies to discuss the latest advances in fermentation, biotechnology, and functional foods.
Representing Amerex, our Technical Director Alejandro Rodríguez attended the conference with the aim of learning first-hand about new fermentation trends applied to improving food safety and developing natural ingredients.
Throughout the sessions, innovations were presented related to the microbiota of fermented foods, the valorization of agri-food by-products through fermentation, and new biopreservation strategies — topics directly aligned with Amerex’s ongoing work in natural ferments for food preservation and quality.
Fermentation is consolidating itself as one of the most promising biotechnological tools for the future of the food sector. At Amerex, we have been committed to this field for years, developing protective cultures effective against pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella, and exploring their potential as natural alternatives to traditional preservatives.
By participating in international forums like this, Amerex aims to remain at the forefront of research and innovation, continuing to provide the food industry with safe, cutting-edge biotechnological solutions.
Patricia Rodrigo is Head of Marketing & Product at Amerex. With a background in Biotechnology and a Master’s in Biotechnology Business Management, her work focuses on research and communication of natural alternatives to additives, conservation strategies, and pathogen control in various food groups for the industry.
