Andrew Vasina, North America culinary center manager, spoke to us about how Biospringer uses fermentation to develop natural flavor solutions. He highlighted yeast extracts that enhance umami in savory foods and bitter blockers that mask off-notes in sweeteners and botanicals. Vasina also noted that fermentation is central to Biospringer’s clean label approach and supports the growing demand for transparency and natural ingredients.
