Lallemand Opens New Laboratory in France for Formulation of Microorganism-Based Food Solutions

Lallemand Specialty Cultures, a division of the microorganism and derivative producer Lallemand, has inaugurated a new 400-square-meter R&D laboratory in Rennes, France, dedicated to the formulation of food cultures. This state-of-the-art facility, which houses the company’s collection of over 2,000 bacterial, yeast, and mold strains, will focus research on areas such as using matrix fermentation to enhance the taste and texture of plant-based foods, while collaborating with Lallemand’s Blagnac site on fermentation processes. The new laboratory, described as a “meeting point between science and application,” aims to address challenges in the food industry, including sensory differentiation, technological performance, food safety, and sustainability, and aligns with the company’s broader ambition to advance R&D, following the earlier acquisition of enzyme producer Solyve.
