Corbion: EU patent for Corbion powdered vinegar is reaffirmed

摘要

The European Patent Office has reaffirmed the patented status of Corbion's unique vinegar powder, originally granted in 2016 to cover its composition, production process, and intended use in meat, seafood, RTE foods, sauces and dressings, baked goods and other foods. As an increasing number of people focus on the content and origins of the foods they eat, manufacturers are looking to solve their formulation challenges using ingredients familiar and understandable to consumers instead of artificial agents. Vinegar is highly familiar to consumers as a "kitchen cupboard" ingredient, and as a rich source of acetic acid, it is well-known as an inhibitor of microbes and pathogens in addition to being a flavor enhancer. Liquid vinegar may be the best-known source, but isnt a viable choice for all food applications.
