Cultured Sugar

OTABIO Yota-Guard™ Cultured Sugar is a fermentation-derived preservation ingredient produced by culturing sugar with food-grade Lactococcus lactis. The process generates organic acids, including lactic and acetic acids, and other fermentation metabolites that help inhibit susceptible spoilage microorganisms and support shelf-life extension. Yota Bio-Engineering Co., Ltd Developed for clean-label reformulation projects, it provides an option for manufacturers evaluating alternatives to conventional preservatives while balancing microbial stability with the flavour, texture and quality expectations of their products. Yota Bio-Engineering Co., Ltd Applications include cooked and cured meats, cheese and dairy spreads, soups, salad dressings, sauces, fresh pasta and fillings, and selected bakery products. Product selection should reflect the main spoilage concern and the characteristics of the food. Yota Bio-Engineering Co., Ltd Supplied as an off-white to light-yellow, water-soluble powder, Cultured Sugar can be added to the aqueous portion of the recipe and mixed uniformly, offering convenient incorporation into formulation processes. Yota Bio-Engineering Co., Ltd Final dosage should be established through application trials considering pH, water activity, processing, packaging and storage conditions. Preservation performance, permitted use and ingredient declaration should be confirmed for the specific product and destination market.
