Pediococcus acidilactici

Pediococcus acidilactici is a Gram-positive, homofermentative lactic acid bacterium found naturally in fermented plant material, cereals and dairy. Nustras supplies Pediococcus acidilactici as a freeze-dried bacterial culture in powder form, used as a probiotic ingredient and as a fermentation culture. The species grows as cocci arranged in pairs and tetrads and produces lactic acid as its main fermentation product.

The culture is formulated into probiotic supplements in capsule, sachet and tablet form, into multi-strain blends and premixes, into functional foods and beverages, and into animal-feed and silage products.

The material is a freeze-dried culture on a food-grade carrier such as maltodextrin, supplied as a free-flowing powder. Viable count is standardised to specification and determined by plate count, with identity confirmed by microscopy and molecular identification; moisture and heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies Pediococcus acidilactici in bulk commercial quantities, in sealed moisture-barrier packaging within fibre drums or cartons, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Pediococcus acidilactici is an accepted probiotic and food-culture species in major markets; buyers confirm the strain, permitted use and labelling for their application.
