When Vicell ferments it, it becomes a different ingredient.
See what changes by ingredientWhat happens when exactly the right microorganism ferments it?
- BREAK DOWN
Large molecules you cannot digest become small
- CONVERT
Beneficial fermentation metabolites are created
- CREATE
Antibacterial and antioxidant compounds that fight harmful bacteria and inflammation are created
- TRANSFORM
Taste, aroma and format change
- EXPAND
Functional compounds are expressed
Proper fermentation starts with knowing the material and the microorganism.

Productization
Before you look for a new ingredient, look again at the one you already have
Most development problems are solved by using the current material differently, not by sourcing a new one.
- If this sounds familiar Ingredient costs keep risingFermentation answers it this way We convert the existing material through fermentation so the same input carries more value.
- If this sounds familiar Inventory and by-products pile upFermentation answers it this way Surplus material and by-products are redesigned as fermented ingredients and returned to the product line.
- If this sounds familiar Taste and odor cap the inclusion rateFermentation answers it this way We reduce off notes and rebalance aroma so the formulation limit can move up.
- If this sounds familiar There is no evidence behind the claimsFermentation answers it this way We analyze compositional change before and after fermentation to build usable data.
- If this sounds familiar Nothing separates you from competitorsFermentation answers it this way Strain and fermentation conditions combine into a specification that is hard to copy.
What changes after fermentation?
- RAW
Soy as received
Rich in protein, but the fermentation conditions are demanding. Taste and functionality are hard to keep at the same time.
- FERMENTATION
Tailored fermentation
Fermented with strains and conditions that keep the function of soy while improving taste and format.
- NEW VALUE
Postbiotic fermented soy
The strengths of soy plus new fermentation metabolites, broken down into amino acids for maximum nutrition and function.
- RAW
Red ginseng as received
About 25 percent of the population cannot take in ginsenosides, its main component.
- FERMENTATION
Tailored fermentation
Produced with strains screened for fresh and red ginseng fermentation under optimal conditions.
- NEW VALUE
Postbiotic fermented red ginseng
Large molecules are broken down, so absorption goes up. Fermentation metabolites raise functionality. Ginsenosides convert to Rg3 and compound K.
