Food & beverage Domain
For more than 25 years, KitOzyme has helped winemakers, food manufacturers and beverage producers develop and regulate high-performance solutions based on fungal chitosan and chitin-glucan.
Food and beverage producers face increasing pressure to combine performance, regulatory compliance and reliable supply. At the same time, consumers and brands are looking for non-animal, traceable and well-characterized ingredient solutions.
Solutions must deliver reliable results throughout production, processing and storage.
Whether controlling Brettanomyces in wine, supporting clarification, improving formulation performance or extending shelf life, effectiveness remains essential.
Demand for non-animal, allergen-free and vegan-compatible solutions continues to grow across food and beverage markets.
KitOzyme’s fungal ingredients help manufacturers align with these evolving expectations while maintaining product performance.
Consistent quality, traceability and reliable sourcing are critical for industrial production.
Manufactured in Belgium under controlled quality systems, KitOzyme’s fungal biopolymers support reliable industrial supply, traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.
KitOzyme’s fungal biopolymer platform was built to answer all three simultaneously.
From a single fungal biopolymer platform, KitOzyme develops targeted solutions that address specific needs across Food & Beverage markets.
