LAB & Probiotics

Freezing for conservation

Liquid nitrogen plays an important role in the controlled rate freezing and cryogenic conservation of Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and probiotic Bifidobacteria. The cold energy and the low temperature of liquid nitrogen allow fast freezing, with minimal damage, so that they survive the freezing process.

Pellets

Cultures or probiotics for inoculation are often distributed under the form of deep-frozen pellets. Dedicated pelletizers use liquid nitrogen immersion for high speed production of droplets of these cultures.

Dohmeyer's pelletizers excel because of their low specific consumption of liquid nitrogen, hygienic design, clean-in-place procedures, and suitability for an HACCP preventive approach to food safety and pharmaceutical safety.
