Indeed, as we become acutely aware of the relations between the food we eat and our health, we tend to prefer food ingredients and protective agents produced by nature as opposed to synthetic additives. Therefore, natural technologies are well on the way to replacing synthetic preservatives, as new developments in science now allow us to identify their beneficial components.
For us at Danisco, natural food protectants have been a focus area for some years. Now we have branded our comprehensive range under our Care4U™ label.
Most of the ingredients manufactured by Danisco are of biological origin. And, because we firmly believe that “Nature is stronger with science”, we pride ourselves on our ability to deliver ingredients of the highest quality, produced using the most modern processes and technologies. In this way, we help manufacturers meet important consumer demands for food that is not only natural but also superior in quality, taste, safety, convenience and affordability.
Today natural solutions account for 25% of the global €1 billion food protectant market and have an annual growth rate of 6-8% - around twice that of the food protection sector in total.
