Product description
YOTABIO Yota-Guard™ Cultured Wheat Flour is a fermentation-derived ingredient developed for mould control and shelf-life extension in bakery products. Produced through controlled fermentation of wheat flour with food-grade Propionibacterium freudenreichii, it contains naturally generated propionates and organic acids that help inhibit spoilage moulds and rope-forming bacteria. Yota Bio-Engineering Co., Ltd
Designed for bread, buns, rolls, tortillas, pizza crusts and bakery premixes, Cultured Wheat Flour supports manufacturers evaluating fermentation-based alternatives to conventional preservatives such as calcium propionate. It offers a practical ingredient option for clean-label reformulation projects where microbial stability and product quality remain essential. Yota Bio-Engineering Co., Ltd
Supplied as a convenient dry powder, it can be blended with flour or incorporated into a bakery premix during manufacturing. This allows premix producers and industrial bakeries to integrate preservation into their existing ingredient systems. Yota Bio-Engineering Co., Ltd
Performance is influenced by dosage, finished-product pH, water activity, processing, packaging and bakery hygiene. Cultured Wheat Flour can also be evaluated alongside vinegar and other suitable preservation measures, with trials used to balance mould-free shelf life against flavour, fermentation performance and crumb quality.
