Products > For Fermentation Applications
Sensient Bio-Ingredients is a global manufacturer of high quality fermentation nutrients. Our products provide microorganisms with nitrogen, vitamins and micro-nutrients not found in defined media. Peptides, amino acids and other nutrients occur naturally in our yeast products and many of our other hydrolyzed proteins, making them suitable for use in a variety of fermentation applications.
Every fermentation system is unique – whether it is for a dairy, pharmaceutical, diagnostic, amino acid, enzyme, organic acid, or cell culture application. Therefore, you cannot expect any single protein hydrolysate to provide optimal performance in all systems. In Sensient, you will find a single-source supplier with the experience, knowledge and a complete line of complex nutrients to meet your cost and performance goals.
We offer a complete range of yeast products, vegetable protein hydrolysates and dairy hydrolysates for various fermentation applications. Please scroll further for more information on these product lines.
Yeast Products: We provide a wide variety of yeast products that are made from bakers’ and brewers’ yeast. Our complete portfolio includes:
- Nutrex line of whole inactive yeast products
- Autolysates
- Technical-grade and Refined Yeast Extracts – Amberex™, Flavor Mate™, Tastone and Amberferm lines of products
Vegetable Protein Hydrolysates: Our line of soy protein hydrolysates includes products that are either acid- or enzyme-hydrolyzed. Acid-hydrolyzed products are specially designed for fermentation applications and have very low salt. Our enzyme-hydrolyzed products are made from GMO-free soy and range from crude to high-clarity, low-endotoxin products.
Dairy Hydrolysates: We have a growing line of dairy hydrolysates for the diagnostic media and fermentation markets that we have co-developed with Tatua Dairy Cooperative in New Zealand. Tatua has a captive and consistent supply of milk from its own farms, so our relationship with them helps us provide our customers with security of consistent supply of dairy hydrolysates that is unmatched by any other supplier in the marketplace. Put simply, no other hydrolysate manufacturer or supplier has this direct link to the primary raw material source - milk. Sensient is the exclusive global marketer of the dairy hydrolysates that are manufactured by Tatua using BSE-free, New Zealand-sourced raw materials.
Our product line consists of pancreatic digests of casein, as well as other enzyme hydrolyzed casein and whey-based hydrolysates. From unfiltered technical-grade hydrolysates to ultrafiltered hydrolysates, our product range ensures we will have the best product for your process and budget, whether that is a large scale bacterial fermentation or a refined diagnostic media or cell culture application. These products are backed by a dedicated development and commercial team that is readily available and resourced to meet your needs.
