The technology consists of a food additive with antimicrobial activity, which prevents diseases and extends shelf life, both in food intended for humans and animals. This additive is of a protein nature and is capable of preventing the appearance and propagation of bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli and others that are dangerous for human or animal health, such as P. larvae in Apis mellifera, which causes the American foulbrood disease.
This protein additive is produced by beneficial microorganisms, leaves no residues, given its nature, is biodegradable, and has excellent safety profiles, both for humans, animals and also for certain beneficial bacteria of the intestinal microbiota, such as Lactobacillus kunkeei.

1. Product of natural origin, without chemical residuals, in line with consumer and regulatory trends.
2. Designed to be easy to use and apply in the agri-food industry.
3. Able to substantially inhibit the growth of a wide variety of contaminating bacteria in animal and human food.
– Increases shelf life.
– Avoids losses.
– Prevents food poisoning.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), 1.3 billion tons of food are wasted worldwide each year, 17% of which is attributable to spoilage.
of food, 17% of which is attributable to spoilage. This waste not only represents a major obstacle to the supply of food for the population, but also to the discarding of food products.
the population, but also, when it is discarded, it generates between 8 and 10% of greenhouse gases.
The food industry is one of the largest and most diverse in the world, and preservatives or sanitizers are part of it, and are used to prevent spoilage, microbial growth and loss of food quality.
Globally, the food additives market is estimated at nearly $110 billion, growing at over 5%. The preservatives segment is the largest segment of the market (US $3 billion). The natural preservatives segment is expected to grow at a faster pace over the next few years due to consumer trends that generate an increasing demand for natural and organic products.
In Chile, it is essential to maintain food integrity, as this industry is the second most important, with sales exceeding US $50 billion annually, and constitutes 46% of its annual exports.
In the case of animal feed, the world demand for feed grains is US $400 billion.Traditionally, chemical products, such as quaternary ammonium Traditionally, chemicals such as quaternary ammonium or chlorine dioxide have been used to disinfect grain used to make livestock and pet food, but in Europe, regulations severely restrict their use, so naturally occurring disinfectants are essential.
In human food, on the other hand, there is a growing demand for protein-rich foods, thanks to the emerging economies that are generating an increase in the intake of chicken and poultry and red meats. These have also been affected by regulatory agents and public opinion, looking for solutions that allow them to generate a clean label, with fewer synthetic additives, but still allowing a good shelf life and quality.
