Overview

NanoInGreen has developed an innovative natural formulation utilizing postbiotics, antioxidants, and other natural inhibitory compounds to effectively preserve fresh meat products. This solution aims to replace traditional synthetic preservatives, such as nitrites, which are associated with health concerns due to the formation of harmful nitrosamines. By offering a natural alternative, NanoInGreen's formulation caters to the growing consumer demand for healthier, additive-free products while ensuring the preservation of essential organoleptic properties like texture, color, and shelf life.

Technical specifications

The formulation consists of a blend of postbiotics, antioxidants, and natural compounds that provide antimicrobial and preservative functions. It is designed to match the efficacy of nitrites without compromising the sensory and shelf-life attributes of meat products. This allows food producers to maintain product quality while adhering to regulatory pressures and consumer preferences for natural ingredients.

Technology readiness level

This natural postbiotic solution has reached a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 6, indicating that it has been validated in relevant environments. Future steps include scaling up production from 2L to 10-20L batches and conducting further testing on additional meat product matrices. Plans are in place to seek regulatory approval and market the product by October 2025, targeting companies affected by new regulations on nitrite usage.
