3A Biotech Unveils Natural Innovations for Safer, Healthier Food Solutions

In the current context, the food industry demands solutions that not only improve product stability but also provide added value in terms of health and safety. Along these lines, 3A Biotech has developed Tocotyrosol and Bioprotec RT , “two innovative ingredients of natural origin with technological and functional applications,” the company explained.

The ability of Bioprotec RT to eliminate intestinal toxins is now being investigated by 3A Biotech

Tocotyrosol is a synergistic solution based on natural extracts such as olive, rosemary, green tea, and oilseeds. “Its value lies in its dual function : on the one hand, it acts as a protector against oxidation in fatty matrices, preventing rancidity and the degradation of colorants and flavorings; on the other, its profile rich in active compounds such as hydroxytyrosol, oleuropein, carnosic acid, carnosol, rosmarinic acid, ellagic acid, catechins, and tocopherols, gives it a potential biological effect associated with cardiovascular, cognitive, and immunological health, as well as the modulation of oxidative stress and inflammation.”

Bioprotec RT is a fermented extract of Lactobacillus reuteri, with broad-spectrum antimicrobial (Gram- and Gram-positive) and antifungal activity, improving food safety in various applications. Furthermore , its ability to eliminate intestinal toxins through the conjugation of heterocyclic amines is being investigated, which could strengthen its functional profile.

Both ingredients represent a new generation of natural, clean-label , and multifunctional solutions, aligned with current market trends: extending shelf life, enhancing safety, and contributing to consumer well-being.

These innovations reflect our approach to ingredient development at 3A Biotech, always guided by our values : green innovation, the design of adaptive solutions, and expert advice. Because we don’t just formulate products; we also support our customers with a technical, personal, and sustainable approach .”

A positive market

Regarding the evolution and current situation of the functional ingredients market, 3A Biotech believes it is “increasingly demanding, changing, and competitive.” This is causing ” an explosion of market demands , forcing functional ingredient, nutraceutical, and free-range food companies to address new business opportunities.”

The evolution of this sector brings with it the need for more science and its application in everyday life.

But addressing this, the company 3A Biotech pointed out, “means quickly taking on and adapting to new challenges, often generating uncertainty when embarking on certain projects . Furthermore, the evolution of this sector brings with it something extremely beautiful: the need for more science and its application to everyday society.”

The most in-demand ingredients for 3A Biotech are new sources and alternatives to vitamins E and C. In this context, plant and fermentation extracts are enriched with antioxidants that can replace the aforementioned vitamins in certain applications. On the other hand, other highly sought-after functional ingredients are prebiotics and probiotics that can perform both technological and biological functions, as is the case with Lactobacillus reuteri.
