LyoLock™ Process Improves Nutritional Supplement Probiotic Viability

A leading probiotic nutritional supplement company approached us to participate in a viability comparison study. They provided two probiotic strains for us to process and optimize for maximum shelf stability, which would be compared against the same strains processed by a competitor’s freeze-drying service.

Confident in our LyoLock process and expertise in microbial stabilization, we aimed to retain higher levels of time-zero viability through an accelerated shelf-life study.

We collaborated closely to define a comprehensive testing plan covering all critical process steps to ensure product stability.

Our Technical Services team collaborated with theirs to develop a plan tailored to their specific inputs and product treatments to achieve optimal retention of probiotic viability.

We integrated specialized process and packaging solutions, considering factors such as fermentation, concentration methods, and their proprietary cryopreservative formulation.

The results indicate that we successfully applied our LyoLock process to achieve a higher relative percentage survival rate for both probiotic strains versus the competitive freeze-drying option.

As a result of this study, OFD Life Sciences won the business and continues to collaborate with and support this leading probiotic nutritional supplement company in the marketplace.
