Gas-based bio-preservatives to extend the shelf life of food

Our platform

Built for industry,
against resistant strains.

We are building the next layer of food preservation: one that learns from biology and scales through technology. At BioBlends, we combine bioinformatics and experimental validation to design biopreservation systems that align scientific innovation with industrial needs. Each solution is engineered for consistency, efficiency, and seamless adoption across production environments.

At BioBlends, we bioprospect volatile compounds from beneficial bacteria to control microorganisms resistant to conventional preservatives.

We replicate the natural defense mechanisms of beneficial bacteria to control fungal contamination without chemical residues.
Our solutions extend shelf life across multiple food matrices: safe, trace-free, and industrially ready.
