Title:

Develop Bio-pathway to produce organic acids and fortification salts using petroleum-based and bio-based organic acids.

Agreement Number:

1009226

Agreement Value:

$700,000.00

Agreement Date:

Aug 1, 2023 - Mar 31, 2026

Description:

Bartek is a global leader in manufacturing food additives to prolong food freshness and shelf life. This project will explore the possibilities of producing bio-based organic acids. Biobased and oil based organic acids (being used presently by Bartek) will then be converted to fortification salts as a cost-effective nutritional supplements/product. Bartek will explore and prototype production processes to produce fortification salts. Comparative testing will then be performed to select the most cost-effective fortification salts from either oil based or bio-based acids. Several methodologies will be selected using various fortification salts to fill the gap of “lack of nutrient salts”.
