Sync Biotech

Products that include a combination of beneficial microorganisms (probiotics) and sources of nutrients and fiber that nourish these bacteria (prebiotics) are called Syncbiotics. In fact, Syncbiotics help the better and stronger performance of beneficial microorganisms in the digestive system.

Use of probiotics in industries

As mentioned, probiotics are not only used in the food industry. Below are some examples of industries currently using probiotics.

Probiotics in agriculture industries

Despite the high potential of this product, probiotics are used in agricultural industries to improve soil health, enhance plant growth, and combat plant diseases. Probiotics can be used as soil conditioners or seed treatments to promote beneficial microbial communities and increase crop yield. Additionally, these microorganisms, due to the hormones and anti-pathogen metabolites they produce, can be used as growth stimulants and biological pesticides.

Probiotics in aquaculture industries

Due to their role in improving the health and growth of fish and other aquatic organisms, probiotics are used in aquaculture industries. They can be added to fish and shrimp feed or directly to aquaculture systems to increase disease resistance, improve digestion, and enhance nutrient utilization. Moreover, specific types of probiotics, with high organic matter decomposition abilities, are used in aquaculture systems for biological water purification purposes. It should be noted that these microorganisms must be used in the appropriate concentration in the fish diet to have a desirable effect.

Benefits of using probiotics in fish farms:

Biological water purification

Prevention of bacterial infections

Enhancement of immune system

Improved growth

Increased survival and reduced losses

Reduced stress and anxiety

Enhanced nutrient absorption and supply

Reduced environmental pollution

Reduced disease and increased nutrient absorption through the introduction of beneficial microflora into the digestive system

Probiotics in animal feed

The presence of probiotics in animal feed as additives improves health, enhances animal growth performance, and reduces the need for antibiotics. Probiotics can strengthen the gut microbiome in animals, leading to better digestion, higher nutrient absorption, and improved immune system function. Nowadays, due to the various side effects of antibiotics in livestock production, microorganisms have taken their place.

Pharmaceutical industries

In the pharmaceutical industries, probiotics are widely used to produce drugs such as capsules or probiotic powders for the treatment and prevention of specific diseases. These microorganisms are commonly used for gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome and to support overall gut health.

Probiotics in skincare and cosmetic products

Due to the potential benefits of probiotics, these valuable substances are used in skincare and cosmetic products. They are used in products such as lotions, creams, and serums to support a healthy skin microbiome, alleviate some skin diseases, and improve skin barrier function.

Waste management and bioremediation

It may be interesting to note that probiotics also have significant applications in waste management and bioremediation. Due to their high ability to decompose organic waste and clean pollutants in various environmental settings, these substances are used. Probiotics can be used in wastewater treatment systems, landfills, and contaminated sites to enhance microbial activity and accelerate the breakdown of organic compounds.

These substances can also be used as microbial starters in various food industries with specific goals. Some of the applications of these substances in industries include:

Dairy industries

Microbial formulations are widely used in the production of dairy products. For example, these formulations are used in the production of yogurt, cheese, buttermilk, sour cream, and other dairy products. Generally, microbial starters convert lactose (milk sugar) into lactic acid, which leads to acidity, improved texture, and flavor development in dairy products. Therefore, the use of probiotics in dairy industries has increased these days.

Pickling and fermentation industries

In pickling and fermentation industries, microbial starters primarily feed on the sugar present in the raw materials of pickles and fermented products, mainly fructose. By converting it into acid, they improve the texture and flavor of pickles and fermented products. The fermentation process in the production of these food industries using microbial starters not only reduces the salt used in pickling and fermentation processes significantly but also, due to the beneficial acids produced, increases the shelf life of the product and reduces the need for preservatives considerably.

Meat industries

Microbial starters are used in the meat industries in the production of fermented meats. Depending on the type of microorganism used, these substances can create unique and desirable flavors, colors, and textures in various types of meats. These starters also prevent the growth of harmful bacteria in meat products and reduce the use of preservatives in this industry.

Bakery industry

In the bakery industry, probiotics like sourdough starters are used to initiate fermentation in bread and other baked products. Sourdough starters contain a mixture of wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria that help improve the quality of the dough and provide a unique and desirable taste and texture.
