Global ingredient supplier Corbion has been granted a patent for the unique method it uses to produce highly concentrated vinegars that let meat processors better inhibit the growth of Listeria and other pathogens without compromising the sensory qualities of their products. Using this process, Corbion, long known for its expertise in food preservation, creates solutions such as Verdad Opti Powder N450 and N460 as free-flowing powders that deliver multiple functional benefits, including increased food safety and product shelf life without negative flavor and texture impacts.
“Corbion’s history of innovation in ingredient technology has often included advances like the one this patent represents,” said Lonneke van Dijk, sr. business director for preservation at Corbion. “Because this patented process produces the best-tasting low-sodium vinegar powders on the market, our customers can have more effective, label-friendly solutions that protect consumers’ health, product quality, and operating efficiencies at the same time.”
