In an evolving world where the demand for food continues to grow, the challenge of reducing food waste and increasing food availability has become more pressing than ever. Galactic, a leader in natural antimicrobial solutions, has been at the forefront of developing innovative and sustainable methods for food preservation for over 30 years.
Food preservation plays a vital role in addressing food waste. Every year, nearly one billion tons of food are lost or wasted globally, representing 40% of the total amount of food produced worldwide. This not only has a significant impact on food availability, but also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, making food waste a devastating scourge on the environment. By preserving food, we can take a crucial step towards reducing food waste and its detrimental effects on the planet.
Galactic offers a range of natural ingredients and antimicrobials that are designed to improve food preservation, enhance product quality, and combat food waste. Through the combination of fermentation Galactic's solutions not only extend the freshness of food products but also add rich, authentic flavor nuances.
For example, Galimax Flavor F-50, a specialty ingredient created through fermentation and infusion, has been shown to have a beneficial effect on the sensory evaluation of plant-based foods, offering a genuine aromatic and plant-based experience.
Alongside the reduction of food waste, food preservation is also crucial for ensuring food safety. Every year, 600 million people globally fall ill due to conditions caused by foodborne diseases. To tackle this issue, it is essential to minimize the risks posed by microbial pathogens and safeguard food against them using the most effective methods available. Galactic's application expertise provides solutions aimed at enhancing quality, optimizing flavors, preserving freshness, increasing food safety, and protecting various types of food applications, including seafood, bakery, and meat products.
Furthermore, preserving food is not only about extending shelf-life. It is also about maintaining excellent flavor and high quality throughout the entire shelf-life of the product. Over time, if food is not properly preserved and protected against loss of quality, both flavor and consumer perception can change. Galactic's natural lactates and preservatives have been proven to maintain high quality and excellent taste, ensuring that the flavor experience remains consistent over the shelf-life of the product.
In conclusion, food preservation stands as an essential component in addressing the challenges of reducing food waste, enhancing food availability, and guaranteeing food safety. Galactic's innovative solutions for food preservation, naturally derived from fermentation and infusion, offer a sustainable approach to preserving food while enhancing flavor and quality. By leveraging these solutions, we can take a significant step towards creating a more sustainable and resilient food system for the future.
