Our Service

Core Service Portfolio

Aprofood offers comprehensive services covering the entire fermentation value chain, addressing needs from R&D to manufacturing.

Strain Development & Process Optimization

Utilizing a specialized microbial repository and a synthetic biology platform, Aprofood provides end-to-end services from functional strain screening and identification to metabolic engineering. The focus is on developing and optimizing processes for producing specific functional ingredients (e.g., bioactive peptides, dedicated enzymes, postbiotics) and high-activity probiotics. Through precise control of fermentation parameters, the service maximizes the yield, purity, and functionality of target products.

Pilot-Scale Validation & Process Scale-up

Equipped with a series of fermentation systems from lab to pilot scale, Aprofood delivers reliable scale-up verification. This phase ensures a smooth transition from optimized lab-scale processes to predictable production-scale operations. It determines critical process parameters, calculates production costs, and provides solid data and operational foundations for final plant design or contract manufacturing.

Customized Production of Functional Ingredients

This service specializes in the custom development of food ingredients with specific functionalities through microbial fermentation. It encompasses tailored probiotics and starter cultures, targeted fermentation products (e.g., specific enzyme preparations, natural flavor enhancers, microbially derived peptides), and natural food preservation solutions achieved via fermentation technology.

Integrated Production Solutions

For clients with mature product formulations, Aprofood offers services ranging from technology transfer to large-scale contract development and manufacturing (CDMO/OEM). Operations strictly adhere to food safety production standards and hold relevant certifications, ensuring full-process quality control and compliance from raw materials to finished products.

Primary Application Areas

Novel Alternative Protein Development. Strain selection and process development for products like microbial fermentation protein and mycoprotein.
Functional Foods & Beverages. Innovation in fermented products rich in specific probiotics, postbiotics, functional peptides, or vitamins.
Traditional Fermented Food Enhancement. Industrial upgrading of products like yogurt, cheese, kimchi, and soy sauce for improved flavor, quality, and production cycles.
Natural Ingredients & Preservation Solutions. Development and production of fermentation-derived natural colors, flavorings, and preservatives (e.g., bacteriocins).

Collaboration Process

Requirement Analysis

The process begins with a detailed consultation to understand the product vision, functional goals, and market requirements. This stage defines the technical scope, regulatory considerations, and preliminary feasibility to form a clear project foundation.

Solution Design & Quotation

Based on the defined scope, a customized technical and commercial proposal is delivered. It outlines the scientific approach, stage-gated project plan with key milestones, timeline, and transparent budget.

Process Development

This core phase executes the laboratory work, including strain screening/evaluation, media optimization, and bench-scale fermentation process development. The work focuses on establishing a reproducible and efficient base process through iterative experimentation.

Sample Testing & Validation

Representative samples are generated and undergo rigorous in-house analytical and functional testing. Client evaluation and feedback are integrated to ensure the product meets specifications before advancing to scale-up.

Scale-up & Technology Transfer

The verified process is scaled to pilot or demonstration scale to confirm consistency. The final deliverable is a complete technology transfer package, including process documentation and SOPs, to enable commercial manufacturing.

Key Advantages of Customized Fermentation

Creates Unique Flavors & Textures. Directional regulation of microbial metabolism naturally generates rich, clean-label aroma compounds and texture-modifying substances.
Enhances Nutrition & Accessibility. Increases nutrient density and bioavailability while improving digestibility by breaking down anti-nutritional factors through fermentation.
Develops Green Functional Ingredients. Enables efficient production of sustainable, high-value health ingredients like alternative proteins, functional peptides, and prebiotics, reducing reliance on environmental and resource inputs.
Ensures Precision & Consistency. Utilizes precision fermentation technology for the stable and efficient production of target components, guaranteeing highly consistent product quality across production batches.

Aprofood's customized fermentation solution transforms the infinite potential of microorganisms into definitive product advantages. Whether at the prospective R&D stage or in need of mature scale-up and production support, Aprofood provides a seamless bridge from science to manufacturing, helping to turn innovative concepts into successful market products.
