![]() ![]() For example, dextran produced by bacterial fermentation, and sorbitol made by bacterial oxidation of sorbitol. In addition, some GRAS microbial-derived ingredients are restricted for use on food contact surfaces. Lactic acid may be produced by fermentationĬarbohydrase and protease from Bacillus subtilisĬarbohydrase, cellulase, glucose oxidase-catalase, pectinase, and lipase from Aspergillus niger Propionic acid from bacterial fermentation Riboflavin biosynthesized by Eremothecium ashbyii Natamycin derived from Streptomyces natalensis and Streptomyces chattanoogensis Examples of GRAS microbial-derived ingredients Some microbial-derived ingredients have been reviewed by the FDA and confirmed to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for defined purposes (e.g., indirect human food ingredients) and conditions. New food ingredients must be pre-approved by the FDA, and new food ingredients that are generally considered safe are regulated through the GRAS system. ![]() Microbial-derived ingredients, such as proteins, enzymes, polysaccharides, vitamins and antibiotics, produced through microbial fermentation, have been widely used in the food industry. Microorganisms can be used as a source for food ingredient production bacteria, yeast and microalgae can be used as catalysts for the production of food ingredients, enzymes and nutraceuticals. Our strong team of GRAS experts is able to act as a liaison with the FDA to prepare GRAS documentation for our clients to help food manufacturers who need to submit safety related data. With a CNAS certified laboratory, and extensive experience in strain identification and fermentation production, we perform safety assessments of microbial-derived ingredients in food products. For customers in the food, nutraceutical, and feed industries, we are confident and capable of providing microbial-derived ingredients and helping analyze whether your ingredients require GRAS status. As a leading CDMO, BOC Sciences focuses on the use of microorganisms for fermentation to produce valuable chemical ingredients.
