Fermentation
Fermentation is a natural factory powerhouse fuelled by microbes, that give the ability to produce ingredients with new properties.
The next generation of sustainable and natural
While natural ingredients bring us closer to nature and its processes, they rely heavily on farming natural resources that are in decline due to over-consumption. An alternative solution is to use synthesised naturals –natural ingredients that can be grown and cultivated in a lab, such as micro algae, fermented yeasts, and bacteria – which offer a more sustainable alternative to diminishing natural resources (Stylus, 2021).
No land is compromised for making crops for ingredients to be extracted, no fresh water is needed to aid the process and microbes can be used repeatedly.
