Nutra & Pharma Bioingredients
Boost nutraceutical & pharma fermentation with Roquette’s plant-based, non-GMO ingredients. Achieve high yields, purity, and stability with expert support.
The global microbial fermentation technology market is rapidly advancing, with an estimated size of over €30 billion and a projected CAGR of nearly 6% through 2030. Pharmaceutical and biotech companies worldwide, led by fermentation project leaders and plant managers, are under constant pressure to meet growing demands for antibiotics, biologics, vitamins, recombinant proteins, enzymes, and vaccines. Customers seek sustainable, scalable, and high-quality nutraceutical and pharmaceutical bio-ingredients produced through efficient large-scale fermentation processes.
Higher yields, consistency, and cleanliness in production
Amid intensifying competition and heightened quality standards, the challenges are clear. Producers need efficient fermentation media for robust microbial growth and product yields, while also ensuring easy fermenting and facilitating downstream separation and purification. Formulators are keenly aware that sensitive biomolecules, such as those found in biologics and vaccines, require stabilizing solutions during downstream processing to prevent quality loss during storage and distribution.
Comprehensive, plant-based bio-ingredients for every fermentation need
Roquette steps in as your partner in nutraceutical and pharmaceutical fermentation, offering a robust and customizable portfolio of plant-based, cost-effective, non-GMO, and non-allergen ingredients—some of which are available in both food-grade and pharma-grade formats.
SOLULYS® for efficient production and easy purification
Our SOLULYS® range, including SOLULYS® 046 and 145V, provides fully soluble, high-performance nitrogen sources. These facilitate optimal microbial development for enhanced yields and simplify fermenter cleaning and downstream purification, helping you meet even the strictest production cleanliness standards. Additionally, we provide NUTRALYS® as another viable solution for your production needs.
NEOSORB® & GLUCIDEX® tailored for your process needs
Effectively feeding your microbes is crucial. Roquette supports your productivity with a complete set of carbon sources—dextrose and glucose syrups, starch hydrolysates, and our specialized NEOSORB® sorbitol and GLUCIDEX® maltodextrins.
Each caters to the specific metabolic demands and yields of your target microorganisms, whether you’re producing antibiotics, recombinant proteins, or vitamins.
Solutions for product integrity
Maintaining quality and stability through filtration and post-fermentation steps is increasingly vital. Roquette’s plant-based functional carriers and process aids, such as GLUCIDEX® maltodextrin, help stabilize sensitive molecules, manage osmotic pressure, and optimize freezing points during spray or freeze-drying. This ensures longer shelf life and protects your valuable products through distribution and storage.
Expert technical support to tailor ingredients to your microbial process
Because every strain and process is unique, our technical teams are ready to help design, test, and optimize the perfect ingredient bundle for your specific fermentation needs. Drawing from tested solutions like SOLULYS®, NEOSORB®, and GLUCIDEX®, we aim to maximize your productivity and confidence.
