   Strain to sterile formulation

   From microbial selection through lyophilization to ready-to-use direct vat inoculation.

   The process begins with careful microbial strain development, selecting robust and high-performing Lactobacillus and Streptococcus strains suitable for dairy fermentation. These strains undergo optimized fermentation protocols, ensuring maximum growth, metabolic activity, and flavor development. Following fermentation, cultures are subjected to advanced freeze-drying technology, preserving cell viability, stability, and shelf life. Finally, the cultures are formulated under strict sterile conditions, ensuring purity and ready-to-use performance for DVI applications.
