Fresh fruits and vegetables are lost to mold, fungi and pathogens, while chemical preservatives can conflict with clean-label requirements.

R&D Focus

Post-harvest probiotic biocontrol and produce shelf-life extension.

Innovative Solution

A consortium of seven to nine beneficial bacterial species competes with spoilage organisms for nutrients and space on fresh produce.

Solution Effectiveness

The company reports shelf-life extension of up to 100%.

About

Microbiome Pro uses a natural, probiotic solution to prevent spoilage and extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables by up to 100%. With this safe and effective method, Microbiome Pro is positioned to lead the next generation of Agritech dedicated to reducing the exorbitant amount of annual fresh produce that goes to waste globally. Microbiome’s Pro patented formula is based on the principle of competition. It uses a bacterial consortium made up of 7-9 “good” species, to compete with the harmful pathogens that thrive on fresh produce. These beneficial bacteria consume the nutrients and space that harmful organisms thrive on, creating long-term protection to reduce mold, pathogens, and fungi.
