Superbrewed Food announced its partnership with Döhler GmbH, which will dedicate fermentation capacity to the production of Superbrewed Food’s Postbiotic Protein ingredient, which will support product launches in 2024 in food categories in the U.S. with multiple consumer package foods companies. 

Superbrewed Food’s natural, Postbiotic Protein is animal- and allergen-free, non-GMO and able to replace or complement animal and plant proteins in existing and new food formulations. Postbiotic Protein is more than 85% protein with branched chain amino acids, the company says. It is a whole food ingredient as opposed to an isolated protein source, thus it also contains concentrations of minerals and B vitamins such as iron, zinc and phosphorous and B12. Postbiotic Protein exhibits neutral taste, minimal color, pH and temperature stability, and functional properties such as emulsification. The ingredient is being applied in food categories with global CPGs including sports and lifestyle beverages, baked goods, confectionery, alternatives to meat, and healthy snacks. The ingredient performs in dairy and alternative dairy applications. Döhler will also work with Superbrewed Food to commercialize Postbiotic Protein for CPG in business to consumer applications.
