GemMate is an all-natural, clean-label ingredient that replaces artificial preservatives, improving shelf life and reducing food waste. Made from 100 per cent Australian-grown fermented wheatstarch, GemMate can be labelled as fermented starch or fermented glucose and provides a more sustainable solution for bakers while supporting industry innovation across the supply chain.
Manildra Group’s revolutionary shelf-life extender replaces calcium propionate (E 282) to inhibit mould growth, significantly prolonging the freshness of bakery products without artificial preservatives.
With its neutral flavour and aroma, GemMate provides a cleaner solution to shelf-life sustainability for products ranging from white breads and wholemeal rolls to tortillas, flat bread, pancakes, crumpets, sweet breads, fresh pastas and pizza bases, and more. Helping bakeries streamline production for overall efficiencies, GemMate’s extended shelf-life capabilities enable longer production runs, reducing the need for frequent changeovers and minimising operational disruptions.
Providing a longer mould-free shelf life, GemMate reduces food waste across the bakery supply chain and enables innovative practices such as thinner, down-gauged packaging while eliminating the need for freezing, further reducing our collective carbon footprint.
Allowing for expanded distribution, GemMate also supports bakeries to access new markets with fresher products.
Reflecting Manildra Group’s commitment to innovation and sustainability, GemMate sets a new benchmark in the food industry for a more efficient, sustainable future.
FAST FACTS:
- As an all-natural shelf-life extender to replace artificial preservatives, GemMate keeps bakery products fresher for longer without calcium propionate
