How is GanedenBC30 Unique?
The challenge with formulating probiotic foods and beverages is that many strains on the market are vegetative strains, which are more fragile and require refrigeration. GanedenBC30 is a well-researched, spore-forming probiotic. With a naturally-protective outer layer, GanedenBC30 can survive most processing conditions and the path to the gut allowing it to provide the benefits your consumers want.
Probiotic Difference
Understanding the difference between probiotic types is the first step in identifying an ingredient that can fit a product’s formulation and benefit needs. Product manufacturers looking to formulate a shelf-stable, heat-resistant product, should opt for spore-forming probiotics.
Spore-Forming vs. Vegetative Probiotics
Simply put, spore-forming probiotics survive better in food and beverage products. What are the differences?
Vegetative Cells (Lactobacillus or Bifidobacterium)
- Very fragile
- Vulnerable to low gastric pH and bile salts
- Susceptible to most harsh manufacturing processes
- Poor shelf-life
- Generally require refrigeration
Spore-forming Cells (GanedenBC30)
- Naturally protective outer layer makes them highly stable
- Can survive most manufacturing processes
- Survive the low pH of the stomach
- Has a 3-year shelf life
- Can be used in a wider range of products
