As the probiotic market is growing in size as well as scope, with probiotics being added to products ranging from yoghurts to muffins, the Irish taste and nutrition company has formulated BC30, a highly stable spore-forming probiotic ingredient that supports digestive and immune health and protein absorption.
The company explains that its stable and spore-forming ingredient can survive harsh manufacturing processes such as shear, HTST, and HPP pasteurization as well as the journey through the digestive system.
It is easy to formulate into functional foods, beverages, and companion animal products without changes to composition or taste. In addition, BC30 is shelf-stable for up to three years, requiring no refrigeration.
