Bioprox is the “biotechnology” subsidiary of the Protex-International group. For the last 70 years Protex-International has specialised in fine chemistry and is active in several fields: chemistry, textiles, electronics, paints, perfumes, water treatment and, in conjunction with Bioprox, biotechnology in the service of the food and agriculture industries. The scope of Bioprox’s activity concerns the fermentation, preservation and conservation of food products, such as dairy products (cottage and matured cheeses, cream and butter, fermented milks and yoghurts) Bioprox was created at the end of the Eighties and 1992 marked the launch of a production unit for concentrated freeze-dried lactic starter cultures in Noyant (49) near Saumur, France that contributed to the development of the dairy industry market with a varied range of freeze-dried starter cultures and also to the wine industry (malo-lactic cultures) and agriculture with Rhyzobium for Soya and lucern crops . This new activity at the time was an addition to the manufacture of yeast extracts, salted flavours (vegetal proteins Hydrolysates using acid or enzymatic way) and sexual pheromones to protect fruit from insects BIOPROX, a starter culture partner alternative Development : Our range is growing daily with new cultures, for example for the manufacture of Cheddar, Feta, stabilised Brie, yoghurts that are even more unctuous and creamy, Kefir and new blends of cultures appropriate to the needs of various countries. Our technological expertise in cheese applications and ultra-fresh products is greatly appreciated and often in demand from our customers and partners. This effective partnership with our customers solves the problems they encounter in the field and also contributes to the launch of new, high quality dairy products that are sought after by end consumers. Our turnover is increasing strongly and the forecasts for the years to come are very optimistic. - Cottage and matured cheeses Lactic starter cultures are products that are alive and natural that carry out the following functions: - Protection by pH decrease New developments : The prospects for development include: - the expansion of our range and skills Services : Our approach to service varies with our customers’ requirements. - a confidential approach: some customers wish to maintain total confidentiality with regard to their factories and manufacture and in this case we intervene only on demand. We are at their disposal to carry out acidification curves simulations with Cinac, bacteriophage analyses and production measures for diacetyl and texture. Our approach always follows the same path, whether this concerns a product in our range or a new product being developed (or even an individually developed product): - Visit / audit to ascertain need Our sales managers are all and above all experts in our customers’ business and are men/women with field experience, for whom the success of a project with a customer is primordial.
